WASHINGTON—Noting a massive amount of pressure that had been slowly building in the system for years, experts warned Tuesday that the nation’s aging sewer infrastructure could be just one huge turd away from total collapse. “At this point, all it would take is for one person to eat too much of something they shouldn’t, sit on a toilet in the wrong place at the wrong time, and take a massive dump,” said EPA administrator Michael S.
