Bomb Squad Discovers Water Filter
The Morning News of Rodgers, AR reports that a Rodgers Water Department worker, while reading water meters, discovered a suspicious object attached to a residential meter yesterday, and alerted the local police. The police summoned the Springdale, AR Bomb Police Department's Bomb Squad.
Upon investigation, what the Bomb Squad found was a water filter, similar to the one pictured above.
Rogers Police Sgt. Jerry Tyler said "The object was made of three-quarter-inch PVC pipe and was duck-taped to the meter. It looked like a pipe bomb."
I cannot figure out why the filter was attached to a water meter, unless to make a statement about the quality of the water, but I do understand why it could be mistaken for a bomb.
