Health Department Says: sewage backup
Business Says: Sewage is an ugly word. “We just had a flood,” explains manager Lew McKinney, sweeping the market floor on a recent afternoon. The market had to close two hours early on a Saturday, but all the shops, including Murray’s Country Meats, had reopened by Sunday after a clogged line was cleared. There was little mess, says McKinney. “Just a general flood. Nothing we couldn’t handle.”
