According to the Tribune a 16 inch water pipe burst under the railroad tracks at 15th and Elm Sts. 7/29.
We here at Freedom of Speech think this is just the beginning of the problems New Albany residents are going to have all over the city. This Administration has been warned many times about the condition of our sewer system. Now the water pipes are bursting.
Even though Mr. Fifer blamed this accident on the railroad traffic in this area we cannot feel that we are only seeing the tip of the iceburg.
Wake up Mr. Mayor. The sewer system problems will not go away on their own. Now that the budget discussions have taken place, this is the time to consider where our tax dollars need to be spent. We need our water and sewer lines repaired before the whole city of New Albany is flooded.
Then who will you blame Mr. Mayor?
