    Jerusalem – Hagihon, Jerusalem’s Water and Wastewater Works Co. has completed laying Israel largest municipal water pipeline, a five-kilometer, 52-inch diameter line. The two-year project was built by Friedman & Hershko., George Jerassi, and Tahal Group International BV.

    The NIS 40 million project was mostly financed by Hagihon, with Mekorot National Water Company financing a third.

    The pipeline runs through Emek Ha’arazim, west of Jerusalem, between Motza and the Golda Meir Interchange.

    Hagihon said that Jerusalem residents will soon see an improvement in the quality of the supply of water. “Every Friday afternoon, we see at our control center in Bayit Vegan a sharp rise in demand for water because of showers for the Sabbath. This demand usually results in a drop in water pressure. There will now be greater water pressure in faucets, which will be felt in homes across the city”

    ““Every Friday afternoon, we see at our control center in Bayit Vegan a sharp rise in demand for water because of showers for the Sabbath.”

    Don’t they shower on other days of the week as well?

    After the first quarter of the super bowl, the same thing happens in every major city in america. It’s when all the guys are running to the bathroom after drinking beer.
