how the hell do you loot a water main?

you steal the pumping equipment, or just vandalize the pipes.

how the hell do you loot a water main? That is exactly what I was asking myself. I suppose that there might be deisel generators, which could be taken away and sold. But most of the equipment, surely, is not of any use elsewhere. Which is why one wonders if someone isn't striking out at any public property to hand, as a gesture of resentment. The water mains at Nasireyeh had been restored by an international charity, not the new govt in Iraq. They need to get control.
