A reader sent us this video of a Soho property owner trying to clean up after yesterday morning's drenching rains. Yeah, that upgrade to the city's sewage system is a good idea.

Amazing Lunch time post, Jen. You're very humorous.
Wow that woman is crazy and annoying. Good luck using a weak hose to get rid of all that crap.
saw that on the news last night, poo and restaurant grease. Acid maybe would work on that mixture.
She needs to get out a snow shovel.
Can we just review here briefly: huge storm forces sewage back up onto the street; New Yorkers try to hose it back down. Repeat.
My friend used to live on the other side of West Broadway from there above Cafe Noir. The sewers used to back up every time there was a heavy rain and flood the street. If you notice, Cafe Noir, Lucky Strike and Toad Hall all are raised off the street. I'm sure for percisely this reason. I think that's somehow the low point in Soho so all the water drains and there and it backs up really easily.
got milf?
She pays more in taxes than I gross in a year.
Fuck her. Let that shit sit outside her door for a few more days.
It couldn't have smelled that bad if the camera man didn't smell it.
Oh goodness. Not in Soho!
I weep for that poor disillusioned taxpayer. (Puh-Lease, is it worse, as she claims, because it is in a toney neighborhood? Soho used to be a factory neighborhood and some of the infrastructure is still "outer-boroughish" welcome to New York.)
Good thing the infrastructure of New York City isn't falling apart huh?
Someday a rain will come and wash all the shit into the streets.
doesn't seem she is trying to clean away the sewage with the small hose she is using.
55k in taxes a year? c'mon? looks more like a lot of mud and trash... not sewage.
mud and trash is not sewage, people.
using a weak hose and water seems like a pretty stupid method to wash away the sewage pictured.
edEx - Have you ever had sewage on your block (yet)? It looks like trash and it is basically TP and chunks etc...it's a disgusting soup of excrement and other waste. It isn't individual turds. The cameraman was asking her to basically say "it stinks" for the camera - of course he could smell it. You don't mistake sewage for anything else, trust me.
It happens, and she's doing what she can with the hose. She said the basement was flooded = she probably own a business down there. What would you do in her place? That's why the buildings downtown are usually set up a bit - downtown and a lot of Brooklyn are prone to flooding.
Boo hoo, rich Soho property owner.
