Truckload of concrete dumped into sewer »

This is weird: some bozo dumped 13 tonnes of concrete into the sewer that runs under the Sydney Football Stadium, the Sydney Cricket Ground, and the Hordern Pavilion, causing a blockage that runs 140 metres.

Sydney Water have installed a temporary bypass and have spent the past 10 weeks trying to unblock it, but they may have to run a new permanent line. The blockage very nearly caused the Mardi Gras party at the Hordern to be abandoned (18,000 people produce a lot of material for a sewer, one assumes).

It would have cost only $2,275 to be dumped legally.
