Dear Editor: What's Lurking Down There?

Dear Editor,

You all know the maze where the mouse is sitting on top of the maze and the cheese is at the bottom. I think that is what the sewer system looks like in the city of Whitehall.

A few months ago my sewer was very plugged up. The plumber thought they might have to call the city and begin to dig. But thank God they got it unplugged. Then it plugged up again while I was in the hospital. I just told them to go in the back door and do whatever they had to do. When I got home the plumber's wife called me and told me MY sewer was plugged with unflushable baby wipes. WHAT!!?? How did they get in there? I am in my 80s and do not have any babies. So if the baby wipes are in my sewer where is the stuff that goes in my sewer? I would love to be able to track the person who flushed the baby wipes I would send them my thousand-dollar invoice. I had something like it before when I lived on Main Street. I was told I could not throw the heavy blue paper towels down the toilet. I never saw those paper towels in my life until they came out of my sewer.

Do you have trouble with your sewer? I am serious. If you do write Letters to the Editor. You must sign your name but just ask that they do not publish it. I am really curious to find out what is lurking down there. If enough of you write in maybe the Mayor will look into it too.
