Give Me A Break

Page A4, today's KC Star

We're not the only ones afflicted with water main breaks, KCMO is suffering breaks galore from the cold weather (this past winter) and hot and dry now.  They have identified 120 miles of mains to be replaced.  "Aging water pipes" are the problem according to City Manager Troy Schulte.

What about WL...are there aging water pipes?  The break noted yesterday is a reminder about a looming replacement need on Eastside...which goes hand in hand with the need for paving...can you say $?
