Krispy Kreme doughnuts appear to have much the same effect on a sewer line as they do on a human artery.
Citing goop-clogged pipes, Fairfax County is looking to recoup millions of dollars from the confectionery giant, claiming yeast and grease dumped at the company's Lorton plant destroyed the surrounding sewer system.
The civil lawsuit, filed this month in Fairfax County Circuit Court, comes after Fairfax sent Krispy Kreme a $1.9 million bill for the cost of repairing the system — the result of years of discharging "excessive quantities of highly corrosive wastes, doughnut grease and other pollutants" into the sewer, according to the suit.
