SCHOOL'S WATER LEAK PARTIALLY FIXED - No Longer Losing Water

(03/02/2001)

"We are not losing any water, currently," according to Calhoun Schools administrator Donnie Pitts, commenting on a pesky water leak at Calhoun Middle/High School. Pitts said a one inch line to the school's sewage plant was repaired last week. He said it was not properly glued by the contractor and separated over time and pressure. The water pipes at the new school complex began leaking last August, eventually causing the water bill to climb to over $3000 a month from a usual $800-$900. Pitts said one leak was discovered in a line going to the new facilities building and bus garage. He said he was concerned about leaks which might be under the parking lot. "We intend to begin repairing the other leak as the weather gets a little better. That line is turned off," said Pitts.
