April Fool Joke

This has to be a joke: our local garbage collection service distributed a flyer stating the following:

"this week maintenance work will commence on the sewage systems below your streets. It may be possible that any plumbing inside your homes will be affected and sewage waste may spray back. Please adhere to the following: between the hours of 07:30 and 17:00 close the lid of your toilet and place something heavy on it like a stack of books. Use towels to block drains. Try to avoid hanging over sinks between the hours indicated above (etcetera)"

And when they actually get to do all the maintenance work, all they do is stick a hose down a sewer opening and leave it there for two minutes.

April Fools indeed.
