Water service line repaired on Park Lane
Times Report

Crookston Water Department personnel uncovered a broken water service line in front of a Park Lane residence this week. Before the repair commenced, the ice that formed on the street from the leaking water flowing down the hill made for treacherous travel for vehicles.
Usually, a lack of snow cover serving as insulation would make more water lines and City water mains susceptible to breaking, but Public Works Director Pat Kelly says the warmer-than-usual winter is helping out. The frost depth in the area where the leak occurred on Park Lane is only three feet deep, he notes.
