Personally, they probably should have been more on top of this maintenance, but better that they turn off the pipe for a few months than have a rupture that Valdezes the surrounding area.
I thought the diagnostic "pigs" they shoot through the line are supposed to be checking for this sort of thing, along with cracks. Why has it gotten to the point where it is now an emergency, instead of being diagnosed and fixed when it would only be considered "maintenance" rather than "repair?"

seriously!
if you take into account the conditions it's exposed to, i'm surprised it's lasted this long.

for the same reason we have major blackouts in NYC EVERY year due to the power grids not being able to handle the draw of an increasing, power hungry population - It's cheaper to put a band-aid on it than to overhaul the whole damn thing.
All comes down to $$$ in the corporate people's pockets.

When I stopped driving to my mailbox, shed, and neighbors back yard for a beer, I noticed gas prices didn't really bother me anymore! 
Come on

Think we can convince Lance to add a 'Gas Prices' forum when he switches over?

Seriously. It seems like that would be the biggest bloody forum in here from all of the bitching everyone does. It seems like every bloody thread somehow ends up on gas prices.

So you are telling me that you have no way to reduce consumption on your part? I don't buy it, not for a cent. Once you have done everything in your power to emancipate yourself from the slavedriver gas man, then you have a right to [censored]. Until then, either do something or shut it.
