San Fransiscos push for low-flush toilets has created a serious problem. There is not enough water flowing through the system, and so the back up has created a gigantic, city-wide stink. This can be fixed but only by pouring massive, unthinkable amounts of bleach into the sewer system, a prospect that has many people very alarmed. Its the old story: intervention begets intervention. Perhaps we should think a bit less about saving water and start thinking about saving civilization.
Oh ya doesn’t has to use bleach:
Methyl Ethyl Ketone
Carbon Tetrachloride
Plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is...
Oh, yes! Chlorinated hydrocarbons in the sewer! Heh. Actually adding a massive volume of bleach to the sewer system is a very bad idea; bleach reacts with the urea in urine to produce chlorine gas (possibly by way of chloramine-T)- which would then come out of every sewer vent in the city. Actually, it might be a way of cleaning up a lot of vermin....
Those chemicals would clean the sewer to like new condition. Pretty much do the same to SF Bay too.
BWAAA-HAA-HA HAA HAAA HAAAAA!
Wow, that is so disgusting! Those environuts ruin everything.
At least most of the people that live there shouldn’t mind the smell they consider an aphrodisiac ;)
