Lost sock gums up Swale’s waterworks
Actual headline.
A lost piece of laundry narrowly created a stinky situation in Swale last month, as reported during the Swale City Council’s regular meeting on Monday, February 12.
In the department reports, Public Works Director GM informed the council of a bit of a situation with a sewage pump last month. When one of the sewer pumps stopped running, an inspection found that a discarded sock had become tangled up in the waterworks and had to be dislodged from the system.
It’s unknown how the sock got into the sewer system, but the council theorized that a child in town must have been left unattended with laundry and a toilet.
“It’s laughable now, but it is worth noting that kind of stuff could cost us a lot of money,” said Mayor Drury. “The moral of the story is, don’t flush any socks.”
