The winter season is our typical break season we see a high valium volume december through march. Reporter there are eight over the past 24 hours alone including this one the tran mission line running down winfield avenue ruptured on monday night and people downstream had low water pressure until the flow was shut off. This is what is looked like last january when the same transmission line sent a deluge down the hill. People have to be prepared to lose their water this time of year. Everyone recommends have you water stored in the house a case of water or two cases of water, have you water to drink and cook with and well have your water restored as quickly as possible. Fortunately this rupture was not as disruptive as it could have been. The Elementary School stayed open uninterrupted. And this is the scene on wisemill road and it was a skating rink until the salt trucks arrived. Many mains are over 100 years old but even new ones break when the water temperature gets close to freezing employees are on 12hour shifts running from one break to the next. It takes time to restore service. It could be faster or longer and we try to keep it to an 8 to 12 hour window. The same factors causing trouble out here could cause trouble in your own home.
