and yes, it's pretty horrible. My guess is that they will find an alternative before the treatment plant is repaired.

It does still work!

I lived on a houseboat for a few years...every time the mascorator broke--which was often--I wanted to kill myself. One day of non-flushing was torture, I cant imagine 3 days let alone 10. Hope you're right about finding another solution.
