Roywell Services, a company that services oil wells in six locations in Texas dumped “xylene acid and other chemicals down a manhole cover on its property. The manhole connects to the Odessa city sewer.”
Well, you just have to listen to the news report.

I think Odessa should send out a welder and close that opening permanently
Seems when oilfield service companies aren’t buggering up wastewater treatment facilities in the US – they’re blowing up homes in Canada. Never ending.
“A Medicine Hat oilfield company has been charged in connection with a sewer blast in the city back in June. Sonic Oilfield faces five counts of breaching provincial safety code rules after an Alberta Environment investigation.
More than 50 litres of a flammable substance was released into the city’s sewer system on June 9th.
That same day, a southwest hill home exploded into flames and two manhole covers on South Railway Street were blasted into the air.”
