A Bit of Calcutta in SilverLake

So yesterday around 4 we hear a gush of water emitting from below the deck of our bungalow. "Oh the gardeners must be out," I muse. Jeremy looks out the window to investigate. He sticks it back in. "Jeeezus, there's raw seewage flowing down the steps [we live next to this here public walkway: ]."

Mmm, desentery delight. Something is backed up in the drainage system, causing a leak in the septic system. Yay! Fun times for a Saturday night. Three hours and four LA city workers later, we can turn our water back on. Remind me to stock up on bottled water. Not even Britta can filter that.
