Another typical street scene absolutely packed with detail, the displayed resolution does not do it full justice. The old failing main cast iron water pipes were being replaced in plastic with the pipes to the doors in galvanised steel. Strangely the equipment being used in this shot looks very new and ear defenders were something of a novelty.
While the water was off tankers supplied the Old City and water was in short supply, priority given to the Hospitals, Schools and Government buildings. The price of bottled water went up 50% in 1 day making it more expensive than in the UK! Extreme care had to be taken to ensure you weren't buying "fake" bottles with tops very carefully glued back on.
