(UPDATE) Fecal Fee - Dumped On Again

Back on May 9th I Griped about the Sewer Rental Fee now instituted by the Borough of Forty Fort. Well guess what? I woke up this morning to a laundry room full of shit water! That's right, my FREAKIN" sewer backed up! Evidently I have rented a piece of shit sewer line and I am pissed. As I sit here to contemplate my plan of action, I realize that I, yes I must call a plumber to come and check it out before the Borough even gets involved. Of course this would normally cost me about $200 to $400 for them to come out on a Saturday and roto root out the line. It will only cost me $50 because I actually have the insurance for this kind of thing. Yes, there is insurance for this type of problem! Just so you know, I pay about $4.00 per month or $48.00 per year to have insurance on a sewer line that is not actually mine. I RENT THE FREAKIN THING!


This type of bullshit really pisses me off. I am paying a sewer rental fee and I have to pay to get the sewer bored out! Now, there is another twist to this plot. Forty Fort is a Tree U.S.A. Community which means we have tons of trees on our tree lawns. During dry and or cold spells, the roots of these trees seek a warmer moist area which results in them penetrating into your sewer line. The roots then spread out inside the line and block the sewer. So, when you put this all together, its means me, the taxpayer gets the "shitty end of the stick". I pay for the rental of the sewer. I pay a sewer fee to the Sanitary Authority. I pay for the water to flush the toilet. I pay for the insurance in case the line gets blocked and I cannot cut down the tree on my tree lawn because you have to get a Papal blessing from the insane Tree Lady to do so. Of course, I have to cut and maintain the Freakin' tree lawn. Something does not add up here! One plus one equals a crap load of money flying out of my pocket. I am sick and tired of swimming in fecal matter while taking it in the back pocket.

Coming up tomorrow, my candidates for Luzerne County Judge.
