Last Friday's update from Asheville NC:
"The 32” water main that feeds water to 80% of Asheville was not in the best state to begin with: just old and in decay. But it was buried about 25’ deep in mountainside so they kept doing bypass-fixes to it instead of digging it up and replacing pipe. Well over 25’ of mountainside has washed away now and the pipe has just fallen to pieces…and roads had to be repaired to become passable to heavy equipment before repair could even be thought of."
