Stinky

No sooner was I renovated President of our street by acclamation tonight than I was whisked off to the basement car park of a building that abuts us to examine an inflow of water that they consider is the result of our aging drains giving way. It was a useful visit as we can see that the ingress point is exactly under where they did some work at street level a couple of years ago (without our permission) to disconnect their huge 30 year-old building's fecal outflow from our small passageway's hundred year old system and redirect it to the public street's more substantial outflow nearby. What their outflow was doing connected to our private system in the first place is an interesting question which we will pursue . . . it was never designed for such an huge quantity of number ones and twos, and if the local authority gave them permission to do so then between them they can fix any problem that has resulted from such a defective feces disposal policy! Yes, it's a sh*t blip but so is life sometimes!
