Pipes residents told to avoid torches thawing pipes
Denman warned Pipes residents not to use torches to thaw frozen pipes as fires can start behind walls or under cabinets. If a service line to a home freezes the homeowner must hire a plumber since the Water Department lacks equipment to thaw lines. A warm spell may not quickly thaw a frozen service line, so delays could be lengthy.
