The South Park City Council (SPCC) were performing work on the underground water pipes. They dug a large hole in the footpath in order to repair the water pipes. The council erected a small fence around the hole to protect pedestrians. However, due to one worker breaking a large pipe, they failed to fix the water supply to local businesses for 3 weeks. Frank, who owned a laundry business using 8 washing machines, was unable to operate his business as normal.
