There has been quite a bit of rain lately. After the Sunday School lesson I was washing dishes when something made me look up out of the kitchen window. To my horror, I saw nasty dirty water gushing towards the window with even nastier "stuff" floating on it! I ran to the back door, and saw that the lid on the sewerage drain had lifted, and there was a fountain of the horrible stuff bubbling up and flooding the back garden.
I tried to find a telephone number for an emergency service - nothing.
While visiting the CCC (old age home) later in the afternoon, I mentioned the problem to one of our deacons, and was told that I had to phone the police. They would know who to contact, and would send someone to sort out the problem. Sure enough, the police knew what to do, and we soon had some men clearing up the mess.
Apparently, the drains higher up the road had become blocked, and everything redirected into the tiny pipe running under the manse's back yard.
