Tag : Toilets Bidet


John O'Brien began his day yesterday with his pants around hisankles, scrambling for cover as a fountain of sewer water and wasteerupted into his bathroom.
"I was doing my business, sitting on my toilet, and the toilet blewsewer water into my butt," he said.
The reason behind the bathroom blast? During a routine sewercleaning, pressure built up in the line and exited throughO'Brien's toilet because the house has no vent pipe, which preventspressure build-up, State College Director of Public Works MarkWhitfield said.
On the outside, O'Brien's Piersol Lane house is the picture oftranquility, with a lawn full of sunflowers and a birdhouse, butyesterday afternoon the inside of his house was anything but calm.
The State College, Penn.
