Title: City does 100+K damage to a house with feces. City.

Mac and Meg McCormick had a home to envy in southeast Charlotte, a home built largely by Mac\'s hands over 28 years, a home lovely enough for its kitchen to be featured last month in an Observer story about home improvements.

It is lovely no more. About 3,000 gallons of sewage took care of that.

On the evening of April 6, Meg McCormick says, three city workers were trying to clear a sewer line in front of their house by blasting a grease clog out with a high-pressure hose.

The plan backfired, literally. It forced sewage through the home\'s pipes, up through its toilets, throughout the first floor, down into the crawl space under the house.

More detailes in article.  You sure wouldn\'t want to be that crew of sanitation engineers as the shit hits the fan..... At least nobody was on the toilet.

I\'d make the city clean it up and make them pay the damage.

I suppose if the city ends up paying all costs it\'ll work out ok... but a lot of costs for something that big (3000 gallons of feces... I can\'t even picture it) would have destroyed a lot of \'family stuff\' beyond replacable items.

For one, that\'s pretty shitty.
 
Number two, I\'d be pissed if that crap happened here. The city doesn\'t care, they dump all over the townspeople and act like their shit don\'t stink.
 
Someone needs to squeeze out some legislation to keep shit like this from happening before the rest of society is sent swirling.
 
Poo.
