[sewage] an icelandic solution

The Vesturland District Court has found a truck driver guilty of off-road driving and emptying a septic tank into a hole in the ground in Snaefellsnes National Park in west Iceland.

The man was assigned the task of transporting the tank, where it was supposed to be emptied into the sewage system.

According to RÚV national radio, the employee couldn’t be bothered to drive to Ólafsvík and opted instead to empty the contents of the tank into a hole in a nearby lava field.

Where do you empty your own sewage these days? You usually:

1] Lift the tank onto the back of the lorry and take it to the river;

2] Pour it into the street drain;

3] Put it in a big hole in my back yard;

4] Use my new Zoeller Duplex;

5] Some other variant.

Important issue, as I say. [He chuckles] Just love that "guilty of off-road driving".

  1. Poor chap: who could blame him really? He probably just thought, "I can't be arsed".

  2. I think the important question would be, "Is the lava field still active?" or perhaps best said, "Is the volcano that supplies the field still active?" - you know "hot" like james..
