Frozen Water Pipes in August????

I wonder how many folks realize we just had a severe winter freeze that moved through the valley? It was so severe that it caused frozen pipes to burst, according to the WKSR website and news reported by the station. Oh, you didn't realize that we had a freeze? Well, maybe the severe temperature drop was experienced in only one area of the county? It was reported that a frozen pipe burst in the spec. building on Long Street that resulted in damage and need for a new pressure valve that would cost about $1,500.00 dollars. There was no report as to whether the insurance would cover and part of the cost.

Oh, did I mention this just happens to be the only report of a frozen pipe in the county since last winter and it also just happens to be the building at the center of a very, very large lawsuit? Yes, that’s right the lawsuit where money that was paid for property in the South Industrial Park is being diverted from paying off that mortgage to paying attorney fees. AMAZING, ISN'T IT!
