Yes, quite true. Plenty of that in the "parks" along the streams in town. Thank goodness it didn't happen in my driveway. Hippos are also enthusiastic f*rters - they keep the rivers & dams (where the chill during the heat of the day) well aerated. Alan C On 31-May-21 08:26 AM, mike wilson

About 2Km - 3 small dams. The town has numerous greenbelts along the normally non-perennial stream watercourses. However, with the current dismal maintenance of sewers & potable water networks by the Muni, most flow a bit all the year round. Those in the northern part of town feed the dams
