The City of Lewiston, Maine, got an unusual sewer problem: its main sewer line is being clogged by a mysterious 50 to 60 foot (15 to 18 m) long doughy blob!
City crews discovered the clog earlier this month after responding to complaints of blocked sewer lines downtown. Jones said crews opened a manhole at the Bates Street intersection and saw the clog - an oozing, white blob that looks like uncooked dough.
"We've tried punching through it, but each time we do, it just oozes back over the hole," he said. "It really looks like dough."

and i like how they basically said "well, we poked it with a stick, but it just won't go away!"
From the looks of it this is some hokey 12 inch line with a waterproof seal only on the lower portions. I'm guessing this is a very low flow line or the paper came down in a very rapid time period.
The quality of the municipality's sewer department is evident as they don't have a rodding machine and hydrojetter to fix this.
