According to a post on the City of Blackfoot Facebook page, an unknown individual, or individuals, intentionally destroyed a sewer manhole lid and filled the opening with sand.
The incident took place between Friday, Jan. 24, and Monday, Jan. 26, on Hill View Drive, just off E. Walker Street.
The resulting blockage didn't just damage city infrastructure; City officials say it caused immediate sewage drainage issues and backups inside nearby homes.
The post describes the fallout as a significant "hardship" for Blackfoot residents who are now dealing with the financial aftermath.
If you have information regarding this incident or captured suspicious footage on Hill View Drive, please contact the Blackfoot Police Department.
