Public works? DEFINITELY, Private construction, funded by banks and wealthy folks. Very little corruption, and a lot more transparency. Moral: It's ok to steal from the people, just not all the people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Well, maybe it will improve the stinky water with tons of residues which are all washed into taps, heaters and pools whenever the supply goes off and subsequently is going on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I can only assume some type of improvement in water collection is needed. In the past 6 months it seems there were probably only 3 weeks total where it did not rain. Plenty of water coming down where does it all go?
