Missing pipe not inventoried for ‘several years’

The new guy running Little Rock’s wastewater system says two employees have “come forward” with information on what happened to $70,000 in missing concrete pipe. The two employees are scheduled to meet with police investigators on Thursday.

John Jarrett, however, also said the two employees “won’t talk to me.”

Wastewater utility executives found out about the 1,900 feet of missing pipe on Dec. 20. The utility also has “no documentation that they weren’t checked during inventories,” said Debbie Williams, the accounting supervisor for capital projects, in a story in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

Hmm. We can’t show that they weren’t checked. Maybe I should have tried that explanation during Army annual IG inspections.

INSPECTOR: Where is documentation showing the commander conducted monthly widget accountability?

ME: Well, Sir, I can’t show that he didn’t.
