Serious topic...very few are aware but there seems to be an epidemic of water mains rupturing and breaking, and not many seem to be discussing it or even aware.

This is only a hand few and not even the worst of the articles I have seen in the past week...
It would be a little bit comforting to know that these occurrences were all localized,but what is unsettling is the fact that these are happening right now...and with more frequency each day that passes.
In Baltimore about 2 weeks ago they found a 4 x 8 ft hole in the street that threatened and ended up shutting down an entire city block of businesses and residents...
now that same hole from 2 weeks ago has expanded, and reports say another 2 city blocks could be
in danger of collapsing!
I thought wow that sucks for baltimore city...then I saw the same exact situation unfolding in about 10 other major cities and perhaps more...
then I said "Houston we have a problem"
any way thought it would be interesting to share...would love to read your thoughts
