Water ‘wasted’

Dear Editor:

On June 5 I was walking by the construction on St. David Street in Fergus.

They have a temporary water main coming out of the ground that is leaking water. Initially they put a pail under. On June 21 the pail is gone, replaced with duct tape, with the same result: leaking.

This raises two questions: why has a plumber not repaired the leak? And how many gallons of clean drinking water have we wasted?
