This main break destroyed an entire road and left about 2 dozen houses without water for 2 days. My destroyed I mean, it literally looked like an earth quake happened.
It’s absolutely critical that we pay attention to and maintain our infrastructure. We spend a lot of time labor, and money repairing things that should be replaced and/or upgraded. That being said, this is a cast iron main from the 1920s and that was the first break in this section. That’s pretty damn good.
I think we could do better planning our infrastructure especially water and sewer to extend the life and avoid a lot of loss.

For the record that’s my first time seeing a break that intense. The equipment used to find leaks just kind of threw an error saying the two parts of the main weren’t even connected. Once we found it, you can see why.
