Largest Latin American Sewer!

A behemoth sewer that will be ten years in the making in 2018 is being dug under Mexico City! A tunnel the width of a three-lane highway deserves a mention on Los Osos' tiny sewer blog. Read the story off the link below:

However, on a more alarming note, I found a fascinating article on Mexico City's water; drinking and sewer (aguas negras). I have never been to Mexico City, only Puerta Vallarta, Los Mochis,  Escuinapa (where the car had a flat), Tepic, (where I think I had some KFC for lunch) and Tijuana, (but I only got sick when I ate raw oysters in PV). It is sobering to find what can happen if you don't clean up your water:

What Won't Happen In Los Osos

It's been a while for some new sewer news on the home front, so here is a bit of sewer entertainment from Mexico City to tide us over. We will never encounter scenes like these, but just think, a tank of similar if less diverse stuff, sits right now in your very own front or back yard Los Osians! As for me, I will be happy to see the tank pumped one last time. And I'm keeping any skulls if there are any in there.
