If you’re an environmentalist, particularly a San Francisco version of that creature (one of the most virulent of the breed), it must have come as quite a shock for you to learn that your muck stinks just as bad as a Rush Limbaugh fan’s output. The stench from the sewers in that earth-loving city has become overwhelming, “especially during the dry summer months.”
Why? The low-flow toilets insisted upon (by force of law) by enlightened legislators are not saving the San Francisco environment as the science said they would. According to SF Gate, the near water-free commodes have forced city engineers to mix in 27 million pounds of “highly concentrated sodium hypochlorite” with the sewage “before it’s dumped into the bay.”
The Doctrine of Unintended Consequences struck with force when it was discovered that the water which relocated the acts of Congress from toilets was also necessary to shift the Congressional output through the sewer system! Who knew!
Instead of a laminar movement of muck found with the old toilets, low-flow toilets caused stagnation. The acts of Congress left the homes of the benevolent, but when they plopped dry into the sewer, there they sat, festering and bubbling and turning into a giant petri dish. And they stank.
And still stink, hence the plan for dumpling concentrated bleach into the sewers to make up for the lost water. Some of the bleach must also be used to kill critters in the drinking water, too.
In what must be a fascinating sociological experiment, the very forces of benevolence which created the demand for low-flow toilets is now pressuring politicians to eschew chemicals. “Don’t Bleach Our Bay!” is the new environmentalist cry. Activists are claiming that the bleach will cause an “environmental disaster” and is thus not “planet-friendly.” They suggest—I kid you not—using Oxyclean, or it’s sewer equivalent, to scrub clean their effluvia.
typical Libtards
It’s appropriate that Pelosi should represent the stinkiest congressional district in the nation.
As a “victim” of the low flow toilet scam, this is giving me the giggles. LOL
Lol.
A building where I take a class has low flow toilets. They have the amount of water squeezed down so low that it sometimes takes 3 flushes to make the paper go down.
Yea lets listen to the environment lovers and make every city smell like crap. Hey - it’s good for the environment.
Their next idea to fix this problem is going to be a mandate that the government distribute environmentally friendly nose clips.
Maybe they can flush them out with water?
hmmm, why didn’t the inventor of the flush toilet think of that? Oh he did? hmm.... LoL
An even bigger bit of news out of this. San Francisco dumps raw sewage into the bay?
How is this possible in this day and age? Every city I know has to meet very restrictive EPA regulations for treating sewerage before it is released back into the world.
Milwaukee has spent billions to build a deep (but not deep enough) tunnel system to store sewerage and untreated rainwater that gets into the sanitary sewer system until it can be treated.
San Francisco just dumps bleach into their crap and dumps it into the bay and the Pacific Ocean. Typical liberals.
Ahhh karma.
Imagine, the actual real world jumps up and smacks the Utopian theorists between the eyes. Or, maybe I should say, in the nose.
I was just yelling at the powers that be the other day for that very reason. Sometimes you have to flush a dozen times to get things to go down. It’s so incredibly stupid. But, you can’t buy the larger tanks anymore. Unless you drive to Canada and get one there.
Just wait until they have another big earthquake, the sewage will be everywhere.....eeewwwwww.
Oxyclean is a bleach. The envirotards are objecting to the use of chlorine bleach, and suggesting the use of oxygen bleach instead.
I believe the job will take much more oxygen bleach than chlorine bleach ... I wonder if the envirotards have studied the matter carefully.
Has “One-Square” Sheryl checked in with a solution?
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of liberals... reap what you sow...
Now there’s an idea. Let’s all buy our toilet tanks from Canada. Seriously - I always have to flush twice. What a great brain trust we have in DC.
Anybody ever think about using shallow well water for flushing? NO? Idiots.
This is giving me the giggles too.
As a household who has to have a plunger sitting beside each toilet because of the low-flow laws in effect when our home was built.... it’s kind of poetic justice to see SF stinking.
"Well...that has to be because greedy conservatives built the sewers wrong. Our enlightened governance of the masses had nothing to do with it." :)
