LAST WEEK’S FAILURE OF A SEWAGE LINE AT BROADWAY AND WOODWARD IN ALBUQUERQUE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE ISSUES AGING INFRASTRUCTURE CAN CAUSE. DAVID MORRIS IS WITH THE CITY-COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY. HE SAYS PROBLEMS LIKE THE ONE LAST WEEK ARE NOT UNCOMMON. MORRIS TELLS US THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED ABOUT A 650-MILLION DOLLAR BACKLOG OF INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIRS, SOMETHING THAT SIMPLY CAN’T BE DONE OVERNIGHT
MORRIS SAYS THEY ARE ALWAYS EVALUATING THE SYSTEM TO SEE WHERE POSSIBLE REPAIRS MAY BE NEEDED.
