There was a big stink here with the 'Sativa' (no joke) Water District in the Compton (no joke) area here recently with 'customers' literally getting sewer water through their taps. Seriously...muddy fuggin dirty brown water coming through the taps.
The water district hemmed and hawed for ages apparently. Then the media got involved and the shit storm that ensued was EPIC to the point of the entire water district getting the heave-ho and the state and possibly even the feds getting involved...
The media loves stuff like this. Trust me. I work for them.
