Two men in West Palm Beach, Florida, were arrested for illegally dumping liquid waste into manholes and spilling it on city sidewalks.
According to police, a witness recorded three incidents of illegal dumping on a smartphone, and in one of those incidents, a worker pumps out a community tank at a condo and made about a dozen trips to discharge waste into the city sewer.
The company claims it was using city manholes because a lift station was clogged.Firefighters in Malibu, California, recently rescued a Yorkshire terrier that fell 30 feet into an abandoned septic tank.
