It's just doomed

It sounds as though the Big Dig will never be free of leaks. Currently, 2,00,000 gallons of water are pumped out of the tunnel monthly, 800,000 of those are from leaks, the rest from rainwater. Where there were three serious leaks in 2006 when the state took over, now there are 237 serious leaks (out of 670 total leaks). But, authorities tell us not to worry as it would take twenty-five years of leaks before the tunnel was unusable.
