"Live aboards" face water pipe busts and have concerns New plumbing system needed for busted pipes at the docks and last updated 2021-02-25 23:31:05-05 CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Weâve seen many instances recently of how much problems busted pipes can cause for people. Those living on their boats at the Corpus Christi Marina are experiencing the same problems people on land are. The storms cracked a number of PVC pipes that brought water down the docks to people on their boats. "Itâs as frustrating as any homeowner here in the Corpus Christi area or Texas going into Lowe's or Home Depot unable to find the parts," said Jonathan Atwood, manager of the Corpus Christi Marina. "We have some commercial sources and many of the parts we are looking for are being provided for places like nursing homes and other areas like that, which may be of a greater concern than some of the 'live aboards' down here."
