Do NOT PAY 'TIL 2003!0* .,Downtown businesses close for a few hours after five pipes break By FANNIE SUNSHINE The Champion Several areas in town were wîthout water Wednesday mom- ing after a pressure surge caused five watermnains to break, a Region officiai said. Bob McMurray, manager of system operations for I-laton, said workers were swabbing pipes Tuesday night to help rid the water systemn of manganese when the pressure surge occurred, prompting the breakage. The breakage meant business and resi- dential areas along Laurier Avenue, Main Street, Woodward Avenue, Mapie Avenue and Childs Drive were without water for several hours Wednesday whiie the prob- lem was ftxed. "When there is a pressure surge in the lunes, it couid affect ail the pumps or it could be scattered," Mr. McMurray said. "Every street in Milton has a watermain and they are ail connected. It just su hap- pened those speciftc areas were affected by this. Right now we are looking into exact- ly what went wrong. Our bet guess now ix a pump came on a! Kelso (Conservation Area) and caused a pressure surge." Andrew Casale, manager of Quality Greens on Main Street, said the store was shut down for several hours Wednesday moming while tht watermain was fixed. "We couldn't realy cook. The kitchen was shut down. Anytime business ix inter- rupted it hurts." He said staff used bottled water to wash hands and dishes. "This gots to prove how vital it ix to always have water provided." Andy Wilson, co-owner of Espress Yourself Caffé, said tht cofféetbouse had to tum away about 85 customers due to tht water shut-off. 'We missed the moming crowd but we were able to get tht tail end of tht lunch crowd. 1 was quite frustrated. Moming and lunch are our two busiest limes." Tht lvy At-ms also shut down for about two hours Wednesday moming. Roseheath Drive resident Kevin Powell said he woke up Wednesday mommng to "black tar" coming out of his taps. 'Usually when tht pipes are swabbtd theres a little bit of brown water tht next moming, su you just mun it for a bit and it clears up. Tht water this moming was black. Now that its settled I can set big chunks of brown stuff. This is tht worst Ive ever seen i. Mr. Powell, who's lived in town for 26 years, said he now refuses to drink tht tap water. It smells likes Javax. Its like walking into an indoor pool. Five (watermain) breaks ix excessive. 1 have to wonder what tht infrastructure is like if a pressure surge like this tan happen. How this happened is totally bizarre."
