The city will spend about $3 million in the next few years repairing its water system because, as public works commissioner Conrad Fagone said yesterday, "it's just getting old." The water system is currently running at normal capacity only with the aid of a spare pump at the Fresh Pond reservior public works facility. Last week a massive electrical charge, caused by an explosion at the Rindge Towers apartment buildings in North Cambridge, blew out one of the three pumps used to bring water from the reservoir into the main system.
It will take at least "a couple of weeks" to repair the broken water pump, Fagone said, adding that the cost of the repair work has yet to be determined.
