    I bet the problem is on their end. The pipes are probably clogged up and they don't want to replace them.

    I'm old; everything reminds me of a story.
    When I was a kid right out of high school I got a summer job at a paper plant.
    I Unloaded a railroad tanker of white clay slurry they use to coat the front side of recycled cardboard.
    Had a system where I hooked up 2" house steam line to open top hatch, to blow into tank as it was flowing out 4" lines into their holding tank. whole operation took two days. Talk about thick.
    That whole 2 days I spent up on a bank on the other side of the plant, watching the clouds from the grass.
    Those were the days.

    Had a Pa State Trooper pull me over on Rt. 80 Eastbound going to clear a wreck in a snowstorm,
    and the back of my Rollback looked like that picture.
    "I can't read your license plate."
    "You're kidding me, right?"
    Would you like me to show you just how serious I am?"
    I got out and cleared it. (This was 20 yrs. ago, before you could get shot for moving wrong.)
    "Have a nice day; and drive carefully."
