In the Big Inning, God created Heaven and Earth and Rain. Along came Man and he created Leaky Sewers and Manhole Covers subject to Inflow. And for many years no one cared and waste flowed down the Sewers to the Rivers and Seas.

And Females Shod in Canvas went to Congress in the silent spring and they begat the EPA. And they made a Law, "Thou shalt dump thy Untreated Waste Nevermore."

And terror reigned in the Land of Dumpers. Consultants wept, Officials gnashed their dentures, Developers moratoriumed, Tax Payers rended their minks and Studies were made.

And it came to pass that the Sewers which leaked, were made good, when the Treatment Plants built by Grants begat by studies, begat by Consult­ants were paid by the EPA begat by Congress. And clean water came to the Land of Dumpers.

And it was that Rich Men in the East driving Royces begat by Rolls came to the West bearing price in­creases. And the rains came and all was gloom in the Land of Dumpers.

And it came to Pass that the cost of the crude (which makes the volts to cleanse the Crap at the plants that Jack built) increased four fold. And the water table went up and the streets flowed with water and entered unto the Leaks unto the Sanitary Sewer unto the Treatment Plant. And the plant was not able to hold it all and the gates opened and the untreated waste was dumped into the Rivers and Seas.

And the people gathered unto each other and called it INFLOW/INFILTRA­TION. They raised questions: "Why," they spoke unto their leaders, "do we pay high prices for energy to treat storm water which is good and needs no treatment?"

And Lo, it came to pass, a com­pany came out of the Land of Texas with a chemical which stops Inflow and Infiltration. And it was called "GROUT," and it was Good!

And Dry Basements came to the Land of America and the Land be­yond, to the Rivers and Seas, and there was cleanliness to the water forever and ever.
