\nWrote Brendan Kiley about Towles’ 45-minute survey of Seattle waterworks:<\/p>\n

 It’s about the rats in your toilets (they’re really
\nthere), about the invention of near beer (as a safe alternative to
\ndrinking water, since the low alcohol content supposedly killed germs),
\nand about a local man named Mel who has walked 90 percent of Seattle’s
\nsewer pipes (the things he’s found there: a tricycle; part of a canoe;
\na secret reading room with desk, chair, and plywood floorboard that
\nsomebody obviously set up as a private hideaway–Mel, Towles says, let
\nit be).<\/p>\n

Other topics discussed: secret tunnels leading to springs, accidentally
\ndemolished in Israel; what parts of Seattle have the most fat- and
\noil-clogged sewers; the etymology of “rival” (those who share a river
\nor a stream); and Seattle’s professional water tasters, whose palates
\nare more accurate than microscopes in figuring out what kind of algae
\nare living in the water. (more<\/a>)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
