    Not defending ai at all or anything but why is M = 1000 in this case, when K is usually 1000?

    Like I would assume 1KCF would be 1000CF and 1MCF would be 1,000,000CF

      The Roman numeral M=1,000. Greek kilo (K)=1,000. The only plausible explanation is the local sewer district is run by Romans.

        All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?!
