<<I'm talking about a big city sewer system--flowing down hill for about 8 miles to the great lakes>> Ed: But it doesn't just flow into the Great Lakes, does it?!? Must be processed in a treatment plant before it does, I hope! I don't know the ins and outs of embedded chips in a treatment plant but I'd suspect that they might work something like: If it's Saturday, everybody's doing their laundry so kick in the two extra motors and open the extra gate valves. Just a guess. Sounds like something that could be manually overridden, at the simplest level. ...Tim

Tim and Ed--See reply #488 on this board for info on the Montreal sewer system. According to the poster the sewage waste treatment provider was able to keep the sh*t moving using backup power. I understand from a poster from c.s.y2k that the drinking water provider was able to keep pumping for the most part but came within hours of exhausting reserve power. The poster claimed some areas were without water. Had the crisis gone on much longer Montreal might have had significant problems. "flatsville"
