    BAGHDAD --Task Force Baghdad Soldiers delivered more than 600 feet of polyvinyl chloride pipe to an Abu Ghraib neighborhood Oct. 30.

    Thanks to the 1st Brigade, 10th Mountain Division Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 71st Cavalry, the citizens of this neighborhood can now use the PVC pipe to replace the rusted and leaking steel pipe in their current dilapidated water supply system.

    "They will do the work themselves instead of waiting for the contracting process," said 1st Lt. James Burnett, of 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry civil affairs officer.

    The pipe will service about 50 citizens.

    The 1-71st Cav. Soldiers also took the opportunity to hand out school books, clothing and toys to the Abu Ghraib residents, who gratefully offered sweet tea to the Soldiers.
