They just spent TWO years rebuilding the infrastructure on Broad Street. I think it included the water mains as they redid they hydrants! They had not painted the lines on the street yet!

. . .especially downtown, it gets a lot of notice. But, in fact, Boston has one of the lowest rates of water main breaks in the country. I must divulge that I used to do PR work for the BWSC, but their numbers, in terms of maintenance, meter reading, and their finances, are really astounding. It has been one of the best run governmental entities in the state for going on 20 years.
