Service lines freezing under roadway in Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 3, 2014 - 2:50pm

As of Jan. 31 the village began to experience water service lines freezing under the roadway, according to Jamie Mehaffie, Bluffton Village administrator.

"It appears as though the slight warm up in the air temperature has caused the frost line to dive deeper nearly overnight. While it doesn't seem logical that a warm up would have that effect (just the opposite seems correct) it is a reality. The Service Department has been attempting to thaw the lines and not having a whole lot of success," Mehaffie said.
