The aqueduct was clogged with all manner of corpses and bio-scrap that the old Blackbarrow factory spewed out at regular intervals. Once upon a time our town used to come together every Thursday to clear the bodies from water and let all the hazardous slurry drain downstream to be someone else's problem but now we just let it clog and avoid planting anything on the grounds below.
It overruns whenever there's rain but there still seem to be enough gaps between the bodies for some water to flow. Cleaning it out comes up every single town meeting but everyone ends up agreeing that it's too far gone for us to manage now and nobody wants to try asking the factory to reroute its waste disposal after the carnage they sent out last time.
So we just let it all pile up and clear whatever falls down but only if it doesn't move about. Anything with a pulse isn't our problem and if it has any sense it won't make itself our problem neither. All else is more meat and meat-like things for us to burn, bury or biodegrade and scatter to feed the crops.
