It can cope with heavy rain so whats different about mains water? Water mains are under high pressure (never seen a film of a decapitated fire hydrant?) and therefore are prone to wash out considerable amounts of soil under the road, before it eventually collapses into the hole. Which has already happened. I'm just wondering about the rest of the road they claim they need to resurface. It seemed happy coping with HGVs this morning so there can't be much wrong with it. Perhaps they're just erring on the side of caution. B2003 |
