"Actually there are two or more water leaks, all of which are
currently shut off" at the
new Calhoun Middle/High School campus, according to school
administrator Donnie
Pitts. He said the leaks began to appear last August and have
continued to worsen.
One leak was discovered in a line going to the new facilities building
and bus garage.
"We closed that valve to discover other leaks," said Pitts. The big
increase in water
usage occurred in December when the average bill increased from
$800-$900 to
$3250. The current leak is in the domestic line going to the sewage
treatment plant,
which has been shut off.
Pitts said the leak is expected to be repaired this week provided it
can be located
easily and is not under the parking lot. Another leak on a side line
is not critical, but
will be repaired soon.
