As a result of the recent frigid temperatures the Golden Triangle and other area of Mississippi have experienced, plumbers and public service workers have been busier than normal dealing with frozen and busted water pipes to homes and businesses.
Todd Gale, General Manager of Columbus Light and Water, said as of Tuesday, his department has responded to more than 200 calls from customers with pipe problems, including one at City Hall.
“On Tuesday, we got a call from City Hall saying they had a busted water pipe in their basement area. They had over four to six feet of water, and we had to cut off the water in order to clean it up. Everything is in working order,” he said.
Gale said when his workers come across a major break in a water line, they work to repair it immediately,
“Any small leak that customers experience can be reported to our office, and we will go from there,” he said.
