Pumps' Perplexities

There are small little "Jabunyaville" like towns in these
United States......I just had an occasion to visit one today......

It is the typical little American town......It has its Main St.,
a number of quaint little 'local' shops, the town Laundromat,
along with the one traffic light, town park and a few
cracked sidewalks (in need of repair.)......This is the picture
postcard view......

However under Main Street, there is no sewer line for human
waste, no water supply lines and no storm sewers for rain
water.......If you want to repair your house you are required
to install a septic tank, as many houses do not.......Household
sewage just drains into the ground and leaches.......I will not
get into what happens on Main Street after a day or two of
heavy rain......

Surrounding this Jabunyaville are tens of new sub-divisions all
with water and sewer lines......All installed by the developers.....
And yet none of the of these new revenues and taxes ever
find there way to 'olde mainstream' America......It is truly
a shame......Pumps.....
