Columbus Utilities has a much bigger problem because of neglect, geyser may blow!

We took a trip out to the Southern Water Treatment plant out near the 4H fairgrounds today and discovered the leak reported back in August 2011 has grown in size and now is bubbling in a constant flow out the surface. You can acutally hear it in the video.

This constant leak has weakened the asphalt drive, causing the concern, the finished water main is under constant pressure and could blow creating a "site to see". If the pipe wasn't under pressure it could cause the ground to turn into a giant crater or sink hole. Myself personally I want to see it blow! 

Vehicles have been parking on the asphalt for months and we wouldn't recommend them to continue using the area as a parking lot. 

You could even see where moss has started growing, and this problem is classified as not important or low priority. Keith Reeves said "The water leak is a concern as a source of wasted energy and cost" but it could take months to find someone to repair it.

I don't understand why all of a sudden they are taking an interest in fixing this costly leak, but are they? I enjoy paying my taxes on wasted energy and water.
