Karen, any problems with WATER?

It's fortunate that it didn't happen in a built up area.
Still, it would be kinda cool to have a pic of the mayor floating down the river on a door

Hee hee - I live far from the river, and on a steep hill. We have old water lines and pipes on our hill, but they are very little in comparison to that one, that's the main feed for 30 communities! Whereas our little hill has a very short street, and even if the line broke in front of my house, it would flood my neighbor's house and yard across the street, but we'd still be high and dry!

Hey, thank you, Paul! Very descriptive writing, and those photos are great too. Imagine! No homes /businesses in the area to be flooded. WHEW!

Glad to hear the repair is going along so quickly!

Yeah, well I'd get Paul to put a set of seat belts on the front door anyway...just in case you know.
It's always good to have a safety net.

Well, folks, as of 6:43 this morning, we were told our water is now safe for drinking and all other purposes. Of course, I didn't find out until after I brushed my teeth with the bottled stuff, but hey, no worries.

And Wom, no worries about seatbelts on the front door. If it came down to it, I'm a good swimmer.
