Mudflows in Daly

In Daly, California a water pipe burst causing a mudslide. The water pipe was built in the early 1930s and had never been repaired. The mudflow did not damage the exterior of houses on Lausanne Avenue but half buried about half a dozen cars parked on the side of the road. Also many people are having plumbing problems. One man said that his toilet overflowed and water went into his bedroom and living room. The city council has decided to spend about one million dollars on the damage. $497,100 will be spent on repairing the gash that the water tore through a hillside, $80,000 will be spent on cleaning the mud, $200,000 will be spent repairing the pipe, and $150,000 will be set aside for possible overages.
