Cold, Temperature Change Bursts Pipes Around Town
|
Three apartments at Avalon Darien were evacuated when a pipe on one end of the building burst in the cold weather at about 8 p.m. on Sunday. It was only one incident among several reports of burst pipes that day and the next. A steady flow of water was coming out the side of Building 17 at the apartment complex at 137 Hollow Tree Ridge Road, according to a police report. Firefighters from Noroton Heights Fire Department went to the scene. A closer examination of the leak couldn’t be made because the water had caused so much damage that the integrity of the ceiling was in doubt, police said.
