get out or for anyone to get him out. usually there's signage and enough warning to stay out, no swimming allowed. it goes unnoticed until an accident happens. the solution is it has to do with physically preventing this from happening by having grates on the papers. i fear this could happen again. >> reporter: who is responsible for these pipes? investigators say it depends where the pipes are. some are privately owned by farmers. but they are also governed by certain districts and entities who govern the waterways. those are questions that the family wants to have answered and soon so this doesn't happen again. juliette goodrich, kpix 5. time now 4:52. tour buses will lod by th homes by a sit
