Boring Company tunnels will work and cost <10% of alternatives,” his Aug. 28 post read. “If more flow is needed, additional tunnels can be built and furthermore they can be route water from many parts of the city, not just one.

We cost 10% less than everyone else, but if they don't work we can just build more tunnels... For extra money of course.

True genius.

A 40ft diameter tunnel has not only 11x the capacity of a 12ft diameter one just from the area, but the water can flow much, much faster, too.
