PITTSBURGH —

A worker was injured when a toilet tank shattered at the City-County Building in Pittsburgh.

A spokesperson for the mayor's office said a plumbing fixture failed on the toilet on Monday.

The employee reportedly suffered a cut to his leg.

"We're not taking care of our own house," Councilman Anthony Coghill said.

For months now, our NBC sister station in Pittsburgh has been reporting on the poor conditions at city hall, municipal courts and other city-owned facilities. There are fountains with mold, elevators that don't work, broken urinals and peeling paint.

For those that only read the headline. It didn’t explode.

It is one of those pressurized toilet tanks, one of the early solutions to the low flow toilets that turned out to be a bad solution.

Democrat-run city takes in lots of money from the oppressed citizens.
Democrat-run city fails to deal with problems or take care of anything.

Solution: Raise taxes so that the Democrat-run city can take in more money.

Climate Change causes all sorts of crazy bad stuff. Al Gore himself told me that.
This exploding toilet is yet another example.

“There are fountains with mold, elevators that don’t work, broken urinals and peeling paint.”

sounds like all the government buildings i visited in Beijing when i was there in 1981 ...

unlike Beijing though, philly, like all other Democrat-run cities and states have no doubt scrapped every penny possible out of every budget possible to house, clothe, feed, and medically care for the millions of illegal alien peasants they’ve invited to lounge in their “sanctuary” cities ... locally, our roads have all turned into crap because of this ... sorry, no money in the budget to repair roads ...

Bart Simpson dropped a Cherry Bomb down the toilet again?
