Water Main Breaks Hit City Causing Ground Shifts
Three water mains ruptured in quick succession from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning. Crews tackled 4 inch, 2 inch, and 6 inch mains near Montrose Avenue and Hudson Health Center as frozen soil hindered repairs. Gas line was ruptured during digging, leaving seven families without heat for six hours. Director Dwight Robinson cited ground shifting as the likely cause, with no heat from Athens freeze affecting buried lines. Local residents provided hot coffee to workers overnight.
