> Osaka recorded more than 90 cases of water pipe leaks under its roads in the 2024 fiscal year, according to the city's waterworks bureau.

I must admit, that seems pretty small given how many roads and many people said infrastructure supports.

Still a good idea to get ahead of maintenance, but I am pretty impressed.

I wonder if Japan is suffering the same issue many western countries are facing, where regulation and wages are becoming too high to get much done with that amount of money. In my country, I would be surprised if you could replace a single roads water pipes for 3.6million.
