It is not the impact of the city’s aging water infrastructure, but rather the property owner’s aging plumbing systems. And yes, when it fails, it is the property owner’s are responsible for the cost of the repairs, which can be a tremendous financial burden.

Plumbing systems built in the 1940s through 1960s are reaching the end of their useful service life. Even plumbing systems built in the 1970s may be near the point of failure, depending on the materials used during construction and how the system has been maintained throughout the years.

Rarely is household plumbing system maintenance ever considered by homeowners until their is a problem. It is the perfect example of “out-of-sight, out-of-mind.” When was the last time you checked your plumbing, or your pressure reducing valve, or had your water heater serviced?

The City’s low-interest loan program is a way for the City’s residential water customers to proactively address potentially serious problems. Hopefully, before a catastrophic pluming failure occurs in their homes.

Is this why Tadros sent his workers into raw sewage….?
So – Who owned these three homes in the ‘pilot’ study…?
