    This is a smart move by APUA. Replacing instead of endlessly repairing shows forward thinking. Let’s just hope the execution matches the promise. People in the affected communities have endured enough disruptions, it’s time for real, lasting solutions to our water woes.

      As motorists we just want this project to be over and done. These ripping off of pipes and replacement. Such inconvenience
