Sad thing - many sewage pipes in our area are close to 100 years old , well past the expected service life. Add in they are carrying much more then designed for - recipe for disaster.

My last house was built in the mid 50's and had old terra cotta sewer lines running to the street. Didn't take long before I understood the flaws inherent in those old pipes.
I like to think that I'm fairly in tune with politics, and for the life of me I can't remember hearing more than one or two local politicians ever screamimg about protecting the bay by upgrading the pumping station pumps and back up power, as well as replacing those old pipes.
Instead, our state is wasting money replacing oxidized guard rails along the highways with pretty, shiny new guard rails.
