    Workers in the Warsaw Sewage Department literally found a bug in the system recently. According to Jim Smelser, chief maintenance person, they couldn't determine what the problem was when they noticed the meter readings seemed erratic. After taking it apart, they found a spider had spun a web on a sensor that measures the depth of sewage. Smelser said they were happy to have found the source was just a bug, considering what replacement parts may have cost had the problem been serious.
