LATEST Y2K FEAR: WILL MY TOILET FLUSH?

LATEST Y2K FEAR: WILL MY TOILET FLUSH?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Wireless Flash) -- The latest Y2K scare involves your toilet -- and whether it will flush on January 1, 2000. The Mansfield Plumbing Products company says it's been receiving telephone calls from people who are concerned their toilets will poop out at midnight on New Year's Eve. But it turns out there's nothing to blow your lid about. A spokesperson for the company says as long as your water supply is secure, you shouldn't have Y2K problems with any toilets in your house. However, people who own basement toilets that use electric pumps could experience a "Y2K flush-out" if the power grid goes out. And that slams the lid on this story.
