I talked to a woman who worked for the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power (LADWP) at a party once and she told me about some of the things they find in the sewers. The ones I remember are tampons, a dead horse, and money.

One wonders about the circumstances of a horse dying in a sewer. There is tons of illegal dumping plaguing the LA sewer system. From a 2021 sewer discharge event brought on by a clog basically: "Plant Manager Tim Dafeta said on Tuesday that the July 11 sewage spill was caused when significant quantities of debris blocked the Plant's filtering screens, mostly "everyday mundane trash," including wipes, but also construction material and other large debris like bike parts and couches also played a role in the spill. LASAN Chief Operating Officer Traci Minamide also said that: "Initial theories are potential areas within the sewer where we have structures such as diversion structures of siphons of broad structures, something different than the normal straight-line type that could have caused some hangup of debris and some buildup over time that then on July, 11 let loose."" https://www.westsidecurrent.com/news/one-month-zero-answers-hyperion-sewage-spill-under-increased-scrutiny/article_51a8484a-fa36-11eb-b7b5-0b3fb4fc16f3.html https://www.westsidecurrent.com/news/one-month-zero-answers-...
