Thousands of gallons of raw sewage spilled into a popular College Point swimming hole last month — and locals are flushed with rage that they weren’t given enough warning about the hazardous event. Roughly 7,100 gallons — enough to fill a backyard pool — poured into Flushing Bay on April 23 after a pipe from the nearby Tallman Island Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility burst, The Post has learned. Rather than alert the media with a press conference or put up warning signs along the water, the Department of Environmental Protection did little more than send out a single notification via NYAlert, an obscure city text service that you have to sign up for in advance.
