Does anything good ever happen on Euclid? Apparently not.
AGAIN?! I live on this block and can say this is THIRD time this has happened within the last year. You could see water seeping from two different areas about 3 days ago. Why does WASA seem to only respond once it ruptures on a grand scale? I'm confused.
first water main break of the season, right? these are going to be more and more common until the city figures out a way to replace all the rusted pipes...
OK, making the list for the CVS stop on the way home...baby wipes, bottled water, rubber boots.
