Getting the Poop in MN

Back to WL after my week long excursion in corporate excellence. A note from the road.

A Minneapolis newspaper reported on a suburban incident where a number of homeowners were upset by a sewer backup that caused quite a bit of damage to homes. Apparently there was a water main break, which undermined a manhole, which caused a blockage in a sewer line, which caused sewage to backup in a number of homes. The water department referred to the incident as "unfortunate" but did not take responsibility for the damage. The homeowners are currently exploring legal action.

While it might be difficult to calculate the physical "damage" done to the lake in the last spill here, the adverse publicity, TV/print/internet, certainly portrays our lake as vulnerable...not good right?

Vulnerable? Not when the Mayor is on it. We're talking to KC aren't we? Every time they abuse our lake we talk to them. Sternly. That should take care of anyone thinking we're vulnerable.
