True story.... *back in February my main sewerage pipe backed up. *First indications were

heavy. * Opened up the lid to discover the waste water had backed up into the washing
machine also. *(yuck).
Anyway, *while fixing the problem, * all the waste water was pumped through the sump
pump into the back yard. *Probably about 20 - 30 gallons or so.
Walking around the back yard yesterday.. I noticed.... the grass is bright green and looks
very healthy where the waste water went. * Rest of the grass still looks *late winter
ugly.
