Plumber friend of mine blames low-flow water "saving" toilets for this. More than a century ago, our general sewer systems were laid out, working strictly off gravity, to remove waste from our homes. Then, along came environmentalists demanding we "conserve" water. The problem now being that city/county engineers now have to come along every few months and pump hundreds of thousands of gallons of water through the systems to clear the shit out that never used to accumulate when the toilets were using 1.6 gallons per flush. They're not actually "saving" any water, and are instead using more.
