"I'm sorry, we will investigate as quickly as possible," the operator said with a smile as she hung up the phone and sighed.
Her colleague was somewhat curious, "Another complaint about the sewer issue?"
The operator nodded as she logged the complaint in her notebook. As she finished writing the last word, she realized that the page already had no fewer than twenty complaints.
She found it a bit odd and as she answered her colleague, it was as if she was also talking to herself, "Yes, although we get these complaints every year, but..."
"The last couple of days have been way too frequent, and they're all concentrated on Bolin Road in the Imperial District."
Her colleague made a face, "Maybe some cats and dogs died in the sewers, that kind of thing has happened before."
The operator nodded in agreement with this possibility.
It was mid to late September now, the hottest time of the year, unbearable not only for people but for animals too.
