Although it is odd, it is possible that this was a planned attack on Wal-Mart. Hit the stores simultaneously and hit their plumbing, so they are forced to close.

That still does not explain the SIX MONTH estimated down time, or the fact that none of the affected stores seem to have applied for the necessary repair permits yet.

I don’t know enough about plumbing to question the length of time, if the problem is deep enough.

I also don’t know how quick even a company like Wal-Mart could line up contractors and get all the permits and whatever else they need to do, if they have this problem.

Also, just because they say they will be closed for six months, it may not be. They might be giving an ETA to ensure the problem is definitely taken care of.
