✦ Synopsis
Cambridge, New Zealand, has a population of 13,000. The community's main water supply comes from the Karapiro Lake, which is located some distance away from Cambridge. Along the way towards the town, the pipe carrying the water crosses a bridge over the Waikato River adjacent to Cambridge. Recently, a pipeline section over the bridge needed repairing, which meant that it would be necessary to close up the town's primary water supply.
