The Brilliant planning in this operation was flawless! HAHA
The first plan was to have it all done in 12hrs. That one night shift. BUT GUESS WHAT! The highly trained back hoe operator hit and broke the water main while he was digging! SO then it turned into a whole new ball game.
NOT only were they not going to get it done in 12hrs, BUT now the WHOLE lower end of the county was possibly going to be without water BUT the hole was filling with water!
The south end FD's were alerted about 4am that there fire hydrants were going to be useless!
Dr offices had to close, restaurants had to close, the dialysis center had to close sending there patients to either wait or bog down the hospitals to obtain there treatment.
Due to this event every extra cost or loss of revenue, the town of shallotte or the county WHOEVER was in charge of this should receive a BILL!!
