    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.”
