DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — The cost to repair weather-related
damage to water pipes at Ohio’s largest military base has reached about
$260,000
An official at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton said sub-zero temperatures two weeks ago
caused the pipes to burst.
Randy Parmenter, chief of operations for civil engineering at the base, says the burst pipes caused leaks
in about 50 buildings.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1ekUdJp )
reports that the problems led to a one-day closure of a child care
center, and closed the civilian personnel office, the Wright-Patterson
Club and Banquet Center and shut down a basketball court in a fitness
center.
Parmenter said Friday that he had no information of any
additional leaks caused by the latest below zero degrees cold snap this
week.
