## Resource

Venice’s water woes hit hard this past Saturday with two major pipe bursts flooding neighborhoods — one on private property in the Canals area, the other a six-inch main on Grand Boulevard affecting 67 customers. It’s part of a citywide plumbing crisis, including a massive 36-inch trunk line rupture that dumped 17 million gallons and another break on Santa Monica Blvd impacting 70 homes. Crews are scrambling, but with no clear timelines, residents are bracing for a soggy recovery. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
