CAJUNDOME Looking For A Few Good Flushers

(From The Associated Press)

Lafayette, Louisiana's CAJUNDOME was looking for volunteers to flush more than 200 toilets in the building.

About 70 volunteers were needed to participate in THE GREAT CAJUNDOME FLUSHOFF set for 6 pm on December 27th.

The Cajundome and CONVENTION CENTER housed as many as 17,000 evacuees of hurricanes KATRINA and RITA for 58 days ending October 26th. That many people in the facility 24 hours a day took a toll on the arena's plumbing system.

Cajundome Director GREG DAVIS said THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) has denied a request to inspect the sewer system with a camera.

So, to test the plumbing before hosting an event in January,
a minimum of 70 volunteers are needed to spend 15 to 20 minutes flushing toilet paper down 220 or so toilets and testing urinals.

Scott O'Leary, thanks for the post.
