Every one of us has known since childhood that electricity and water don't mix.

Here's what Arad's building inspection engineer found on the roof of a new building in Holon: an electrical panel for the building's water pumps, sitting exposed to the rain and covered with nothing but a sheet of nylon.
The first rainfall will be enough. Water will get into the panel, causing short circuits and knocking out the pumps.
The fix: build a cover over and around the panel.
Cost of repair: about ₪4,000.
