Default Another ****ty Problem

Oh well (or should I say sewer), it would seem as though all those low volume flush toilets are creating problems and the sewer system is not up to handling the problem. My guess is that the sanitation engineers faces are a little flushed.

Can you imagine having to give the sewer system an enema?

Couldn't this potentially cause a problem with the current codes with plumbing slope inside the house because it was engineered for a certain amount of water flow to wash away solids as well???? just thinking....

It might, but since when did government give a damn and follow the laws they have put in place for us lowlifes. They are above the law and to hell with the consequences.

Probably not, as all the other drains still send lots of water into the system.
