<<I don't think I have a problem with sewers atleast not one high on the list of things to worry about. The sewer system in the city I live in moves down hill and drops several hundred feet over the next 8 miles or so and empties into the great Lakes--fish will have a problem. I live on one of the higher parts of the system and I think other things will be a problem first. Don't know anything about the issue actually>> Ed: In the interest of a little creative thinking, how do you think those at the higher elevations might be affected by all those "downstream" who don't have sewer service? Just a thought. Point is to explore the "we are all linked" theory; ie, if I have food and my neighbor doesn't, I better not flat out assume that I am OK as far as food is concerned. FWIW. ..Tim On a side note, I'm not so sure being at a higher elevation makes things a slam dunk from a sewer perspective. If your sewer gravity flows down to a lift or treatment station, which it likely does at some point in the chain, what happens if the lift station fails? (Answer - it all starts to back up, up, up ...) Read in a previous post - "I want to make sure that I'm not my neighbor's contingency plan." I love it!
