I worked with the same issue with above ground lines going to the refineries.

This particular issue doesn’t sound like redundancy. They are not going to run two sets of lines to everyone’s home. Burying lines when we quoted cost 300% more than above ground utilities. This is a failure that unfortunately relies on fast repairs versus some manic bullet.
