Cold like what enveloped Highland County last week can mean several pipes bursting. But Dave Blair, owner of Blair’s Plumbing, said that was not the case. He said he didn’t handle many of them and that he talked to Dale McCoy, owner of McCoy Plumbing Co., who also said he didn’t have a lot.
Blair gave a couple of reasons this for the lack of froze pipes despite below freezing temperatures people might have been a little more prepared for the cold or there wasn’t enough wind to cause pipes to freeze.
