Why do so many water mains break and flood streets in Tempe?
Well the system is at least 50 years old and everybody knows it needs major maintenance, because water mains have a life of about 50 years. But instead of spending the money to do the pm or preventive maintenance that is required the royal rulers of Tempe would rather give the money to special interest groups. Remember our royal rulers don't work us serfs they rule over, they work for the special interest groups that help them get elected.
