24. Don't remember where it was...

I think it was Toledo, where that flaming river was (I think?)...
whatever, I just know that somewhere, the water was so polluted a
factory that drew water from the river had to stop using the river
water because it was too damaging to the machinery's piping.

...but what about my piping?
