BROWN FRIDAY: THE DAY GEORGIA’S PIPES WORK OVERTIME

BROWN FRIDAY: THE DAY GEORGIA’S PIPES WORK OVERTIME

IT’S NOT JUST TURKEY LEFTOVERS AND HOLIDAY SHOPPING CHAOS MAKING THE NEWS ON THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. IT’S BROWN FRIDAY.

BROWN FRIDAY SEES A SPIKE IN PLUMBING EMERGENCIES. IT’S NOT JUST THE TURKEY ITSELF, BUT WHAT COMES AFTER: GREASE-CLOGGED PIPES, OVERWORKED GARBAGE DISPOSALS, AND OVERWHELMED SEWER SYSTEMS. FOR GEORGIA, WHERE THANKSGIVING FESTIVITIES AND FAMILY GATHERINGS ARE BIG, PLUMBERS ARE OFTEN WORKING DOUBLE-TIME.

PLUMBERS REPORT THAT MANY RESIDENTS POUR TURKEY GREASE DOWN THE SINK, UNAWARE IT SOLIDIFIES IN PIPES AND CLOGS THEM UP.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL OVERLOAD: POTATO PEELS, CELERY, AND BONES? THEY DON’T BELONG IN YOUR DISPOSAL. YET, MANY IDIOTS GIVE IT A GO, LEADING TO COSTLY REPAIRS.

SEWER STRUGGLES: WITH BIG MEALS, TOILETS AND PIPES FACE INCREASED PRESSURE.
