“ The green toilets are destroying the aging sewer infrastructure.”

Print money for new sewers...shovel ready jobs!

Save the poop.

I laughed way to much for that comment. Well done.

Having done so of that “shovel” ready projects, they are interesting, rewarding, and smellorifict.

There are days I wonder if I should have dropped out of engineering and stayed in plumbing.

But the real struggle is most of this infrastructure can’t be replaced. The lines run in places that were easy to get to in say, 1950 but now have a multimillion dollar building, home, or factory sitting on top.

I am still surprised places like Chicago don’t have more issues. The sewer was designed for a city half the size, and the treatment plant are sketchy at best. No one really makes big infrastructure like that anymore, and I am not sure we could. Making a gravity sewer to handling everything from potty to goldfish to projectile vomit is pretty hard. You get the drop wrong, and someone gets a brown fountain.

But I am a bit cranked up today.
