I don't remember where I read it, but I came across a rumor that the powers 
that be didn't fix the pipe when they knew it was broken in the beginning 
because they would have to use city funds, but if they waited until it 
became a disaster, they could use federal emergency funds.  Does anyone know 
if there is any truth to this rumor, and if so, what's the source?
