Huntington Water Leak Costly
WEST VIRGINIA...
Huntington officials say an underground water leak discovered in February 2009 cost the city tens of thousands of dollars in utility bills. The 1-inch water line once ran to a drinking water fountain on the west end of Harris Riverfront Park, but, when it was damaged several years ago and taken out of service, the line kept on running.
The park's yearly water bill doubled to nearly $86,000 in 2008.
