704- MORE CUC DISASTERS

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEXT CUC DISASTER WOULD BE
As I suggested CUC may be jinxed (see post # 693) and was wondering when the next fiasco would happen, well it didn't give us much time to wait and ponder this question as we have had our most recent 'event' today....
CUC's largest pipeline breaks...
Leak triggers water outage in Puerto Rico, Garapan

The Commonwealth Utilities Corp.'s water main, one of the biggest pipelines on the island, broke Thursday night, triggering a water outage in Puerto Rico and the entire Garapan area yesterday. CUC spokesperson Pamela Mathis told Saipan Tribune that probably 25,000 gallons of water got wasted as water overflowed from the pipe along the shoulder of Middle Road near Wushin Gas in Puerto Rico just before 7pm.

Here is one thing I as a contractor have a real problem with, this has been a standard procedure ever since there were water and power lines placed underground, you do not put them close together! Picture. Mathis said that there was no method of fixing the pipe on Thursday night because it is the same area where an underground power line is buried.
POWER and WATER..NEVER EVER TOGETHER!
So here we go again more problems at the rapidly deteriorating utility company. We seen to be just moving from one disaster to another with little time between to even catch our collective breaths. We can only wonder what will be next and when, it seems we won't have long to wait.
Tomorrows another day....
