Utility Board learns of leak
By JAMIE GRABERT
Water Superintendent Chuck Gray reported there was a boil order issued three weeks ago. He said it occurred while the department was putting in a tap, the pipe busted, and it appears the pipe itself was defective.
He added they were losing 1,300 gallons per minute, though it was repaired in the same day. He also stated for the first time in the history of the city, the boil order was only issued for two neighborhoods. He further stated he is going to have the pipe analyzed to see if it truly is defective, as the line was only laid in 2001 and it should not have happened.
Councilman John Tucker said recalls a period they went through where they had a lot of defective pipe.
