"Let" is a very strong word.
The
blockage was due to tree roots, which they have come out and "fixed"
about every other year. They refuse to replace the pipe or even set up a
maintenance plan. So their maintenance plan is to wait till we call them and
say we're flooded. Yeah, I'd say "Let" is accurate ;)
Also, you seem to forget how much sewage flows through
that main sewer...
probably a few hundred litres (maybe more) of sewage each hour.
Nah, there's
exactly two houses above me, so the total running down that
section is those two houses and mine (shower, sink, toilet, etc.).
