As a whole, our infrastructure sucks
Not only roads, bridges and tunnels
But....
Water
Electric Grid
Internet
Rail
maybe, maybe not......however infrastructure wasn’t the national emergency Obama said it was. Would you say that’s a fair statement based on what has transpired?
You Lie!!!
'Unprecedented' number of water main breaks strikes St. Louis
Brian Russell with Missouri American Water. “All 17 of our states are dealing with freezing conditions and broken water mains. So 17 states, customers all calling in. It overwhelmed our call center.”
Crews are working 16-hour shifts, 24 hours a day.
Missouri American Water has hired more than two dozen local contractors. Because much of the country is dealing with the same problem, there aren't out-of-state crews available to come to this area.
“For us, the average winter day might see 15 breaks, maybe 20,” Brian Russell said. “A lot of main breaks is 50, and I'd say since Saturday, we've repaired over 200 so we're in unprecedented territory at this point.”
