The town was flushing the water system out by opening hydrants

Okay, wait a sec, here. They're going to take the dangerous water what gives people lye burns and they're going to dump it in the streets?!?

Oh, don't worry, they'll aim it into the gutters.

Where it will go down the storm drains.

And maybe - probably not - through sewage treatment.

And then, eventually, into the ocean.

GAAAACCCKKK! Is your response TIC? (tongue in cheek) I never am sure with you! ;-}

BTW, my cousin Marilyn (you may, may have met her once or twice) and her family live in Spencer and that includes grandkids as well as kids. I'll give her a call later and see how it has been.

Here is the MSDS for sodium hydroxide.

Note the part in "Accidental Release" --> do not flush into sewers.

So where does the Draino go when it finally unclogs those drains? And can't they add something less harmful to drinking water? At least the use an automated process - no chance of human error! At least my water is somewhat filtered before it's drawn up from the well.

"No chance of..." Of course not because the autmaton/ err machine is totally self-regulated and no human mind set up any procedures, measures, or timings. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket ;->

FYI Dad stopped using Draino about 3 years ago. He switched to Liquiid Plumber, but I used Connie's reccommendation for sink and tub drains: 1st, heat a full kettle of H2O to a boil. 2nd, put baking soda in the drain @1 cup, followed by an equal amt of white vinegar, then quickly pour the hot water down. I haven't bought either commercial stuff for a few years now.
