FROST AND WARWE PIPES

    We have to do some things differently here because of climate.  With the frost we get it is necessary  to bury water pipes and mains at least 8 ft. under ground to avoid the pipes freezing, Even then some water pipes are broken by the frost.

     It's very costly to dig  up the ground and repair the line. 

     Two days ago  a water main broke  about 200 meters from my place. The water bubbled out of the ground and ran down the street. Two 80 ft spruce trees had to be taken down so that they could dig in the area.

      

At one time there were two huge lifts to get people up to take down the trees. There were two huge earth digging machines. There were seven dump trucks and numerous foremens' trucks . It was a big job.

    The worst part was the damage done, The house had four inches of water in the basement. So the people suffered major damage.

    And something only I could see. The local jack rabbit population took off for quieter pastures. All the big equipment scared the away.
