Strange Doughy Mass Creates Sewer Problems


Here’s a weird one: in Lewiston, Maine, an unidentified substance has blocked a sewer pipe causing all sorts of sewer-blockage trouble.

Mysterious, doughy blob clogs sewer

City crews discovered the clog earlier this month after responding to complaints of blocked sewer lines downtown. Jones said crews opened a manhole at the Bates Street intersection and saw the clog – an oozing, white blob that looks like uncooked dough.

“We’ve tried punching through it, but each time we do, it just oozes back over the hole,” he said. “It really looks like dough.”
