The damaged pipe sits off to the side as workers finish the pipeline repairs. |
Tuesday the break, which affected two sections of pipe, was repaired. By afternoon the line was being refilled and would then be flushed to return it to full operation by sometime that night.
London, Ontario, and area is growing and the pipeline is admittedly overtaxed both in volume of water carried and by the velocity of the water being transported. The line has been partially twinned and this break has underlined the importance of finishing the twinning job.

Great photo. Is it out of your archives or did you actually drive up there to the site of the break?
Thanks. It's my photo. I shot it to go with a story on the break that I published on Digital Journal out of Toronto.
If you'd like to run a link to the stuff that I write with a London slant, that could be arranged and I could give you images, if you like, as they are mine.
Nice hearing from you,
May see you at the monthly dinner,
Share a beer,
Cheers!
