Leak! Leak! Leak!

With the last freeze dropping into the low 20's it not only caused ice to form but it also caused pipes to break. On #26 just past the bridge, even with the front tee's we had an 8" main line blow out the cart path. We had to remove two sections of the cart path that had been lifted up and shifted to the point of cracking. Once we exposed the pipe we found out that the Polly pipe had expanded and shrunk due to the freezing and thawing of the main line causing the 8" Polly pipe to flex itself out of a mechanical coupler. We have fixed the problem and have back filled the hole. We will need to allow time for settling and for the soil to seat into place before we can get the cart path repaired. I asked that you please bare with us during this process and we will have it back to normal in no time.
