: Hi: Your insight may help me answer a puzzling question thats always bothered me. Years ago, water pressure dropped nationwide just before Milton Berles famous TV show. Seems everybody went to the bathroom just before Uncle Miltie went on the air. Ive always wondered just what happens when so many people simultaneously go to the bathroom; and, hypothetically, just what would happen if everyone in a major metropolitan area was to flush a toilet at the same time? Would a citys pipes burst? Would reservoirs drain? Your insight woul be most appreciated.: Thanks,: Marc L.
