Broken pipe floods Columbus police HQ

0

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Columbus police were scrambling to
maintain business as usual after a water pipe burst and flooded part of
the department’s downtown headquarters.
Multiple floors in the
building were reported to be flooded early Tuesday after a sprinkler
pipe burst on the eighth floor because of the freezing weather. The
building was closed to the public for the day.
Chief Kim Jacob’s office sustained heavy water damage and had about an inch of standing water.
Some
personnel were initially routed to the county sheriff’s office. Police
said no emergency runs would be affected, and there would be no changes
to public service.
It was the second public water issue in
Columbus this week. Frigid weather hampered efforts to repair a water
main break Monday that flooded some downtown streets.
