WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - Power is back on for the most part but bursting pipes are now a growing problem all across the state.
Christ Academy in Wichita Falls is working to repair the damage caused by a water pipe that broke on Tuesday.
School officials said it was a fire suppression pipe in a hallway ceiling that burst, soaking hallways, offices, classrooms and even the school chapel.
“Christ Academy had a fire sprinkler break which happened probably all Wichita Falls and all over Texas this week. Water only ran for just 20 or 30 minutes but it was enough to do a lot of damage to the school,” said Anthony Inman, president of Anthony Inman Construction.
