Employees said sewage was "covering the floors" of the headquarters in DC.
Between the threat of budget cuts, major restructuring, and having a climate change skeptic run the show, it's been a pretty rough year to work at the Environmental Protection Agency. On Thursday, things only got shittier.
Employees at the EPA headquarters in Washington, DC, discovered that sewage was literally spewing out of the water fountains, E&E News reports. They got an email at about 9 AM letting them know that there was a "water line back up" causing an "issue" with the fountains. According to the folks inside, "issue" was an understatement. "A sewer problem at EPA HQ has resulted in poop exploding out of water fountains," Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Campaign, told E&E.

For years there's been one "poopsplosion" after another emanating from EPA.

EPA so full of s*** - it was bursting at the seams & it had to go somewhere - can only keep a lid on the B.S. for so long...
The sludge blew out that fountain with a force like a BLM whistleblower - spewing out the truth of what was being held back behind the walls.
If any long-time EPA employee happen to be drinking at that fountain at the time, it probably wouldn't taste any different to them than the B.S. that often comes out their mouths.
The chocolate water fountain - along with the orange Animus River - a colorful trail of EPA woes.
"...the water fountains at the EPA HQ had always been a little suspect..."
Would you expect anything less than the suspect EPA to have suspect water fountains ?
