Shit 'n shower

Posted 05.02.2005 by Logjam
It was several weeks after moving in that a Medina, Ohio couple discovered that their newly-purchased house came with an ultra-fast water recycling system.

Here's out it works. Water comes into the house from a well in the yard; handling the out-going waste water is a newly-installed septic system. But rather than ending up in a leech field -- the standard approach --waste water goes directly back into the well, where it is ready when needed to, say, quench a thirst.

As a surprised Chris DeSarle put it, "We are recycling our own feces, showering in it, brushing our teeth in it, for two months."

Elizabeth Morton, the co-owner, seemed a bit less stoic: "l was very upset because I realized that I was showering in our own crap."

We're not clear on how the couple finally came to discover their revolving-door plumbing system, but apparently a local TV news reporter, Ron Regan, played a role in sniffing out the lickity-shit system, which had been inspected and approved by the county's health department.

Good job, Ron. Given your nose for shit, we wonder whether you'd be interesed in an assignment at PoopReport's Washington bureau?

This sounds like one of those Goreite devices. It's just like Communism, looks good on paper but won't work in reality. What the inventor is not taking into account is the unhealthy state of modern society. If the residents of said house took no medications and ate nothing with chemicals in it, then yes, this system would work well. However, an average American consumes enough chemicals in a day to be a walking toxic waste dump. Furthermore, you may be medication free, but watch it when Granny comes to visit with her hormone replacement therapy, antibiotics, and heart medication. One visit an suddenly you have an arrhythmia and man boobs!

Well, you don't actually blow on it. That's just an expression.

MSG (662) -- 07.20.2008

Years ago I was in real estate for a while. A family had their house for sale, in part because it smelled bad and they couldn't figure why. In order to sell, they had to have a termite inspection, and the inspector went into the crawl space under the house. He discovered that the crawl space was full of shit--literally. A pipe from the toilet had broken and dumped the toilet contents straight into the crawl space, apparently for a long time. The soil was sandy, so a lot of water was simply absorbed, thus preventing earlier discovery. A septic tank pumper (honey wagon to some of us) had to come and pump out the crawl space; I never heard what other measures had to be taken. It was a mess, though.

My dad actually had a similar traumatic experience on his short employment with a pest control company. His job was to do inspections and sell package plans, and in such a job it meant he had to crawl under a whole lot of houses. One day he opened the crawl space and was just assaulted by this smell of piss. Apparently, the toilet pipe had a small crack in it and was leaking liquid contents. But nothing like the nightmare you describe, MSG!
