When a pump tailpiece vibrated off and fell to the bottom of a 200 foot (60 m) well and became lodged in 2 feet (0.6 m) of sand, employees of the Water Treatment Plant in Boynton Beach, Florida used a reinforced inflatable sewer plug with metal plates on the top and bottom to retrieve the tailpiece.
