US water pipelines are breaking

[DesertFox]

Two hours north of New York City, a mile-long stream and a marsh the size of a football field have mysteriously formed along a country road. They are such a marvel that people come from miles around to drink the crystal-clear water, believing it is bubbling up from a hidden natural spring.

The truth is far less romantic: The water is coming from a cracked 70-year-old tunnel hundreds of feet below ground, scientists say.

The tunnel is leaking up to 36 million gallons a day as it carries drinking water from a reservoir to the big city. It is a powerful warning sign of a larger problem around the country: The infrastructure that delivers water to the nation's cities is badly aging and in need of repairs.

Wow, we gotta get this war over with soon. We need some monies to repair things here.

[DesertFox]

Infrastructure should be repaired regularly, as we go along, and not need special elections or ends to foreign wars to raise money for them. In my book, there's a whole lot of piss poor city management going on.

Any time you start wasting money on social services, you are going to have less money to spend on fixing the infrastructure.

Absolutely!!! Hammer, meet nail! :claps:

It's a sad truth, but social services do little but waste money. They seldom do what they set out to do and up being wasteful sorry jokes that hurt rather than help.
