Taneycomo Terrace – At a complex that
routinely sees problems arise due to old infrastructural concerns and just bad luck,
yet another page was added when yet another water pipe sprung a leak! A second such occurrence in under a month!
Crews began working on what appeared to
be a small feeder line early in the day on Thursday, Jan 9, 2020. Six
hours later, water services still had not been restored. After doing
a drive-by, I was informed that it would be another couple of hours
which set the repair effort for a six inch line at about eight hours.
About 3 to 4 men were involved in that herculean effort! That we are
seeing so many failures in water lines that were installed in the
90's is troubling to say the least.
In under a month, I'd experienced two power outages, two water supply interruptions and a cable problem. Yes, living in Taneycomo Terrace is anything but dull.
