The plumber cometh

Leaky pipes are annoying, but when they're in a busy intersection the runoff can be dangerous. The water mixes with fallen leaves and the cold weather can turn it to ice--not a safe combo.

That's why, after many weeks and a series of phone calls by residents, it's good to see this problem has finally been fixed. The Plaintalker heard the delay was due to a part that was backordered. Now drivers on Park Avenue, library patrons and high school students can pass without further concern.
