Water infrastructure: the bill continues to rise
The cost of maintaining the city’s water infrastructure continues to climb to deal with the chronic need to patch up the old mains.

A water main broke close to my house last Friday. It’s still not fixed and the road has been closed ever since.

@dhomas – Take a picture and mark the date. We had a sewer break that waited so long that we started putting up signs saying how long and marking anniversaries of the giant hole. Our saving grace is that they use our street for filming, so as soon as they got a filming request, they had to fix the street.

Ever seen any famous actors on your street, Ephraim?

Quite a few have been around here. Including Xavier Dolan. Oh and Square St-Louis is very popular with Just For Laughs. The Pierre Desforges House is used as the Auberge du chien noir.
I sometimes wonder if it’s the reason that this street has been repaved so often. We certainly don’t get any real benefit, just annoyances, like the city selling our street parking and displacing us.
