Three times down, still leaking |

| FTLComm - Tisdale - Thursday, May 8, 2003 | ||||||
 As the temperature rose the ice descended and with shifts in pressure the aging cast iron line broke and had to be repaired. That was almost a month ago but since then water has been coming up in the back alley to the North. A second repair job was done but still the water is rising in the alley. High tech water leak detection equipment from Melfort was brought over to find |

 the leak and that sent the Town crew digging in the same spot this morning at 8:00 when the top two pictures were taken. But by early afternoon with about 100ft of case line exposed it looks like the problem is else where. This is really not a loss as this whole street was slated for replacement this summer and now this section has been done but the search will begin again tomorrow for that |

 elusive source of water coming up out of the ground. With Tisdale's clay base it is usual that water will rise directly from where it is getting out of a line but this looks like an exception to that rule as the source is still unknown. |
