Bridge Update

MONROVIA, November 8 --About 100,000 residents of `Monrovia are now faced with the acute shortage of pure and safe drinking water following the abrupt collapse of the Waterside Bridge, says the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC). [Registration req'd.]

The bridge is a major conduit for water cans carried by hand carts. There's no running water in most of Monrovia.

P.S. A Dutch team has volunteered to fix the bridge.
