Flooding During the Drought

Who would have expected flooding during a drought, but it happened in a nearby city.   A twenty-four inch water main burst, and several homes ended up flooded.   The water main was a 50 plus year old piece of cast iron pipe.   But to at least one home owner's despair, they learned their regular homeowner's policy didn't cover the damage, because the cause wasn't on their property.    And, the city wasn't liable for the damage, wording in their papers.  To be  covered, the homeowners would have needed flood insurance.

To top this all off, the city increased their water restrictions.
