VALENTINA CT FLOODED BY BROKEN WATER MAIN



We woke up this morning to a flood on our street. Naples F.D. one of the first to respond.  

Water was over the curbs and lawns. Jim and Debbie, two good neighbors, from across , and up, the street worked hard to keep sewers from not backing up. Job well done, and our thanks. Of course some of us played like kids.


Our garage was breached and water came in about 3 foot, It was about .50" deep and did no damage. Thank GOD

Outside it was different. A big hole covered what used to be a driveway. Water  Company will pump and excavate the area.




After the Fire Dept turned things over to the Water Co did the water finally recede. A driveway collapsed 
and formed a huge hole in the ground. 



A ten inch pipe cracked. A lot more digging was going to be needed to make a repair. Since water is turned off we are hoping the job is done in a couple more hours.
