Original Toronto Star caption: Flood of foam: Mississauga residents Geoff Dixon; left; and Ugo Procopi stand alongside a river of a foamy substance that welled up on Stavebank Rd. yesterday. The substance boiled up from the sewers on to their street. Dixon says the problem occurs about 10 times a year and believes it is coming from a nearby chemical company.
