infrastructure and precaution
The incidents in cities such as Zurich show that water pipe breaks represent a serious infrastructural challenge. There it often happens that the water pipes are outdated and suffer from daily loads. Even if the causes are often different, early maintenance and renewal is essential to avoid such incidents. It is increasingly emphasized that modern methods for inspection of water pipes, such as thermography or camera technology, can help to recognize hidden damage in good time, such as nau.ch reported.
The city of Nuremberg asks the citizens for understanding and patience during the necessary renovation work. It remains to be hoped that the traffic situation will quickly normalize and that the affected residents will soon be able to experience their usual everyday life again.
