Ken, can you please provide the sewage backpressure-to-Y2K logical link, beyond "might", "may" or "could"? Though I have a few engineering degrees, I admittedly haven't read up on sewage pump failures either, especially ones that might induce Y2K-specific BACK-PRESSURE forces in a **DRAINAGE** system sufficient enough to force effluent into the drinking water line.

Yeah, I know what happens when you drop a cherry bomb down a toilet, but unless a sizable force is applied at the sewage station, I cannot envision more than a teaspoon of muck bubbling BACK UP THROUGH THE TOILET, let alone through the drinking faucet. Not that I care, as I get my water delivered.
