Headline writer is a moron. The mayor says that sewer line carries 90% of the towns sewage. Nothing about a 90% chance of failure.

Likely AI generated.

I didn't even notice it, but then I was concerned about being told I can't flush my toilet for the next 3 months.

I'm OK with that. Besides, it's filtered.

That quarry though. 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤮

well. It gets worse. Apparently there’s a concern the erosion created by the water running to the quarry will create a permanent cut and new branch off the river. 

Looking like that’s gonna be real expensive to stop from happening. According to Finkam it starts with a B.

@larsiu What?

Some pioneers built Potters Bridge with cross cut saws and axes and it's still standing.  We should contract some Amish from Nappanee or Ligonier and knock this out for a hundred grand.

If we let nature take its course, rivers would cut new channels all the time. That's why we have an Army Corps of Engineers.

Talk to Sue. Even Republicans, when staring at the opportunity for federal emergency funds, start jacking up the cost curve.

I get it. But I’d like for my raw sewage to flow south to Indy and points beyond and not a pool of standing water a mile from my house.

I was spared from the worst of last week's storms, though we lost power for about an hour and it took out the board on my older kitchen fridge and it didn't reset this time. So last Friday the wife and I headed to Home Depot to buy a new one. Was supposed to be delivered the next day but was rescheduled for today. Wake up to a text that it didn't arrive from LG and they would reschedule again from what I can gather to this Saturday but after going 0 for 2 I have my doubts. I have an upright freezer and a smaller fridge/freezer in the garage as well as a 7.5 in my man cave so it's at best a minor inconvenience.

That said, anyone else had any issues with appliance deliveries lately being pushed back? My daughter ran into a similar issue a few months back and decided to buy one in person that was in stock in the store after being given the runaround for a few weeks.

We just had to replace a fridge as well. Bought from a locally owned establishment. Delivery was on the day originally scheduled

Unfortunately my town doesn't have a locally owned. Closest to me are two in New Castle and between their own flooding problems and the roadwork on Indiana 3 I didn't venture over there. Next closest would be East Side Indy, but I only head out that way when I have no other choice lol.

I think you guys are in Indy burbs. I’m a couple hours south of you. The place is RCS which is 45 minutes away from where I live but have dealt with them before and have had good luck
