WATER PIPE ALERT!!!

The problem is bigger then we are being told...

The south end historic neighborhoods' pipes are bursting.
Plumbers who service West Palm Beach are all very busy addressing calls.
Some say that what they think will be a simple call for service, is actually taking days to address.
Families are paying in the thousands of dollars for repairs to stop the leaks.


Be proactive now and check your systems.

Here is one suggestion to check if you have leaks:
Turn off all the water sources in your home,
then go outside and see if your meter’s dial is still turning.
If it is, you have a leak.

Another suggestion is to go online and check the history of your water bills.

If you see an unreasonable increase without any change in your usage, you might have a problem.

You may be able to avert a serious rupture if you catch it early.
You will still need to locate the leak and make the repairs, but it will stop external damage to walls or ceilings if it were to burst.

Good luck West Palm Beach residents.
Share this with your neighbor.
(and if you see a plumbing truck on your block, go find out if that's the problem.)
The water crisis is now in our walls as well as our drinking glass.
And they (City Hall) want us to stay optimistic?
