"Hetch Hetchy water tunnel in danger of 'catastrophic collapse'"
This looks like a "government at work" classic.
Let's hope it gets fixed without consequences.
I wonder how many similar things are pending in other states...

Marisa Lagos recently reported on this at SFgate.com:
"Mountain Tunnel, a key part of the Hetch Hetchy water system - which supplies 2.6 million Bay Area residences and businesses - is at risk of a "catastrophic collapse" and will cost more than $100 million to repair or up to $630 million to replace, according to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
City officials have known for 25 years that significant work is needed on the 19-mile-long tunnel just outside Yosemite National Park in a steep, hard-to-access wilderness area."
