"It May Be War, But Housewives Are Riled Over Flooding of Street," Windsor Star. August 1, 1942. Page 3, 5 & 10. ---- THERE'S water, water everywhere on Central avenue, near Tecumseh-road and the residents of the wartime house in the muddy flooded area are threatening to refuse to pay their rent until something is done to take the water away. Picture at top left shows neighborhood children splashing over the original roadway. The mud will be tracked into houses and round into new carpets, housewives say. At top right, a car is shown moving at moderate speed through a puddle. The spray covers the sidewalks and lawns, ruins clothes and automobile finishes, as well as all the neighborhood tempers. Below, company has called at one of the houses and the occupants of the car are having a hard time trying to find a place to bring their car to dock.
Housewives Are Militant ---- Men on Central Avenue Also Fighting Mad About Flood --- Occupants of Wartime Housing homes on Central avenue, near Tecumseh road, are ready to do battle over muddy water which has an in the street for two weeks Some are refusing to pay their rent until the muddy flood is taken away, House wives are militant over mud-tracked rugs. Some attribute sore throats to the flood, and a few of those inclined to take the situation less seriously have spoken of building landing docks. WATER AND MUD A reporter and photographer of The Windsor Star plowed through the yellow-brown sea of Central avenue 13 hours after the heavy rain had stopped yesterday. In some places the sidewalk is buried under mud throw up by swashbuckling auto automobiles. In me places the water is almost a foot deep All boulevards are mires. Mud has been splashed half-way up the front walk of the trim little homes out there. Housewives stand in doorways with a gleam in their eyes that bodes no good for someone each time a car cleaves the water. There are sewers on Central Avenue. But the sewers are placed at each end of the block, and the roadway has sagged in the centre, so that the sewers gleam as freshly as when installed, while only a few feet away, children splash, sail boats, and distraught parents scream at them to get out of the mud and into a tub immediately. There are threats on the smouldering battlefront of Central avenue sea today. They're the threats of a legion of women who are fed up with having to clean house every day with a mop: the threats of young women who no longer dare walk down the sidewalk that are covered by mud, for fear of finding their white summer clothes spotted with brown by passing cars; there are threats from men whose cars need rewashing each time they leave home; there are threats from those who want to entertain company and are ashamed of their neighborhood: there are threats from distraught mothers who blame the condition of the streets for sore throat. WOMEN INDIGNANT Several of the women are going to swing into action today. They said their rents are due now, but that no. one is going to get a penny until the street is fixed and their homes become "decent places to live in, instead of pigpens." "My little girl has bronchitis," said the occupant of one house. "She's three years old, and when she goes out to play she gets in all that filth. There is mud everywhere. I don't think we should stand for it." "It's a mess" complained a second. "My husband went down to the board of health and they told him they couldn't do anything about it. I'll tell anyone that wartime housing is certainly far from healthy. Why I had company here, and I was so ashamed. They got stuck in the mud. We're not going to pay our rent until this street is fixed. My husband cut a downhill drain for part of the street, but that doesn't help much. Everyone gets splashed with mud. It gets tracked into the house. I'm just sick about it." "It's a disgrace," said a third. "All my children have had infected throats since then floors came, and I blame that water out there for it. It's terrible. It isn't healthy. I had a boy guest visiting here from Pleasant Ridge. He comes from a fine home. They have a maid. Every time he went outside, he came in covered with that filth from head to foot, and I had to put him in the tub. It's been this way for two weeks. I'm not going to buy a carpet until that street is fixed. I'm polishing floors all day long." MOTORIST ANGERED "I've got a good mind to send some- one the bill for washing my car," said an irate motorist, who had just met another ca. in midstream. "Every time I go through here, the car is coated with muck from bumper to bumper. If any windows are open, it's even worse."
"It's awful," said a fifth. "I came here last March from the West, and I couldn't even get out of the taxi. I ruined my shoes. They should have decent drains here. I can't keep my rug cleaned. It's always full of mud. I can't even let my children come in their own home the front way, they get so messy from just walking on the sidewalk. The Wartime Housing people say it's up to the city to fix, and the city passed the buck to the Wartime Housing. Let me tell you, it's going to be just too bad for the city if I get sick as a result of this. I'd be ashamed for my friends out West to see the way we have to live. I have to pay my rent tomorrow, and I don't think I will, until this is fixed. There's no road. There's not even a side-walk. It's all mud. Mud everywhere!" Said a sixth: "You might as well be living on the battlefront. They say that the men in factories are the men behind the men behind the guns. I agree with them. We live in mud too. What's the use of trying to look clean and dainty when all you have to do is to step outside your house when a car passes and get drenched in that awful smelly stuff."
And a seventh: "Cars are getting stalled in that goo all the time. We aren't even sure of our deliveries any more. We women out here are tired of talking. It's about time we had some action. If the city won't take the action, and the Wartime Housing won't take the action, then we women will!"

Proper Installation and Maintenance of The Sewage System
For the proper disposal of organic and inorganic wastes generated by humans in domestic, industrial and commercial setups, a sewage system must be duly installed in the building. Sewage waste management must follow certain guidelines to prevent the leakage of the waste and foul odour which can be hazardous for people and other life in the surroundings. For this reason, it is important that the sewage system is properly installed and maintained over its service lifetime. Here are some tips for installation and maintenance of the sewage system:
Tumblr media
1. The first step to proper installation is choosing the right pipes and fittings for the sewage system. Since there are toxins and organic material in the sewage which can damage the pipelines, it is important that pipes and fittings for the sewage system can withstand the discharge without being damaged.
2. During the installation stage, it must be kept in mind that the sewage system is installed in a manner such that it is easily accessible when the need arises. Deeply underground installations not only obstruct the air circulation of the system but also create problems when maintenance is to be carried out.
3. The sludge generated from the sewage system must be handled with due care and routine inspection must be undertaken to ensure that the entire system is functioning at optimal levels to prevent blockages and clogging in the system.
4. Disposal of sanitary items, diapers, baby wipes, cotton wool, etc. down the drainage lines can lead to blockages and clogging in the sewage system. Continuous effort must be made to prevent such disposal and in residential societies, awareness of proper methods for sewage management must be created.
5. Cleaning and other chemical products such as disinfectants, cooking oil or melted fat, garden chemicals, paints, thinners, dairy waste, medicines, etc. when poured down the drains can adversely impact the operation of the sewage system. Under no circumstances should these products and reagents be allowed to enter into the system. The same can also be accomplished by the use of traps and grease separators in the sewage system.
For the most efficient and high quality sewage waste systems, explore the solutions from Wavin, the global leader in the manufacture of sustainable solutions for water supply and management. Wavin’s solutions for sewage management are designed to provide optimal efficiency in the harshest service conditions.

"God, why is there so much lore about The Bishop?"
"Oh, so Fantine was actually blonde after all"
"Why do all of Fantine's friends seem to be complete jerks?"
"I HATE YOU, FÉLIX THOLOMYÈS"
"Geez, so Cosette spent five years with the Thénardiers. And the last time Fantine saw her she was just two-years-old"
"What do you mean Éponine has a younger sister? And was Gavroche her brother this whole time?"
"WHY IS THERE SO MUCH THINGS ABOUT WATERLOO?"
"WAIT, NOW THERE ARE FIVE THÉNARDIERS KIDS? AND THEY "RENTED" TWO OF THEM?"

“WHEN SEWER GAS BLASTS ROCKED MONTREAL,” Vancouver Sun. December 7, 1932. Page 1. ---- Top picture shows the debris of the three-storey building on De Fleurimont and St. Vallier Streets, Montreal, that collapsed during a series of terrific sewer gas explosions recently. Three families in the house escaped before the building collapsed. 
Below, still dazed from her remarkable experience, is 24-year-old Rose Poulin, resting at the Ste. Justine Hospital. She fell three storeys into burning debris when one of the explosions wrecked the building. That's Nurse Grenior by her side.

I know this is one of those unsexy subjects that fics and fiction novels love to gloss over, but human bodies have needs and I have a need to understand how those needs are met, even if I'd never mention it in a fic. just for realism.
so this is the weirdest poll I ever posted, but I HAVE to know:

Steps To Prevent Blockages in The Sewage System
One of the common problems that people in any home face is that of blocked sewage and drain pipes. This is particularly a problem when the pipes are old and the plumbing pipeline has poor quality pipes. The problem is further aggravated by the people dependent on the plumbing and drainage system itself. By misusing the pipes, they add to the wear and tear, causing the pipes to clog and break down, causing blockages and posing health hazards. To prevent blockages in the sewage pipelines, it is therefore important to take preventing steps. Let us take a look at some of these. Here are a few steps you can take to prevent such blockages:
Tumblr media
1. Avoid flushing waste items down the drain. This includes food, hair, toilet paper, diapers small plastic particles, etc. Be it the kitchen or the bathroom, make sure that the drain pipes in the sewage system are never clogged down by particle matter.  These particles can accumulate in the joints over time and clog the drains. Repeated flushing down and accumulation can damage the pipe system.  
2. Installing a sink trap along the pipes where wastewater exits from your home is an important step to prevent the waste from going down the drains. Install the sinks or traps in the kitchen, bathrooms and also the outdoor sinks.
3. If your drain pipe has clogged, avoid pouring chemical cleaners in the drains. Many people tend to pour a drain cleaner solution or powder down the drains in a bid to unclog clogged drains but this is a fruitless practice. The solution is ineffective against inorganic waste such as hair, plastics and metal. Additionally, some solutions can corrode the internal lining of the pipes, which can damage the pipes and increase the risk of leaks and foul odour.
4. Avoid carrying out plumbing repairs on your own. Many a time, plumbing jobs can be complicated and require an expert hand to be resolved. Call a plumber for the right solution if the blockage in your pipes persists for long.
For high efficiency solutions for sewage disposal, choose from the comprehensive range on offer from Wavin, one of the leading manufacturers of sustainable systems for water supply and management. The sewage and soil waste disposal pipes from Wavin are designed to withstand even heavy volumes of waste to deliver highest efficiency.
