Excerpts from Silverthorne Town Manager's Update

 

Leak Detection System

 Our new water metering system is starting to pay some nice PR dividends for the Town, as we continue to receive thank you letters from residents who receive warnings about possible leaks in their water pipes.  Recently, Chris Shelden received some nice feedback from someone he notified about a possible leak in their water.  As it turned out, they had a leaking toilet.  The system will let us find homes or businesses that have a constant flow that never varies, which suggests a possible leak.  An empty house, either unoccupied or while someone is on vacation or gone for the season will register a flow of zero for days on end, but that is not considered alarming as it just says no one is there.  However, if we see a constant flow for days on end, that suggests that no one is home using water, but water is running at a constant rate, suggesting a leak. As we monitor the system, we endeavor to notify the property owner or a management company or someone when we notice this situation.  Chris will alert them they might have a leak and should check.  In some cases the response we get is there is no leak, but in most cases they check and find something amiss, and are able to fix it.  Thank you, Chris and everyone in the Water Department.

 

Frozen Pipes

 Speaking of water pipes, this week’s weather took a turn at freezing pipes in a number of residential and commercial buildings throughout town.  Today, we were alerted that there was a serious break in 2” water line in the mechanical room of a home in Three Peaks, where the owner was on vacation.  There is extensive flooding on the lower level of the home.  Greg Isaacson, Water/Sewer Operator responded to a call from a neighbor who reacted to an alarm that went off at the home.  To turn off the water, Greg had to shut down the Town’s water main, putting about 5 homes out of water. Greg notified all of these property owners and Summit County Dispatch of the outage.  A plumber was called and the water main will be back in action as quickly as possible.  This is just one example of the responses in these situations.

 

Another common theme we are finding is that in many of the newer, larger homes, our building code required a fresh air intake into the boiler room to provide combustion air for the boiler.  This is fine except when the outside air being introduced into the boiler room is 30 below.  Normally the boiler room also has lots of water pipes in it, so they can freeze also.  This is exactly what happened to another Three Peaks home yesterday.  With help from Greg Isaacson, the homeowner was able to get the pipes thawed and back in service without experiencing the trauma of a burst pipe or leak.  The homeowner was very thankful for Greg’s help.

 

The following is a suggestion from Bill Linfield and Zach Margolis regarding really cold temperatures.  Take the time to make sure that you and your spouse, friends, roommates, etc. know where the water shutoff valve is at your home.  It might be in your crawl space, your boiler room, or somewhere else, but you all should know where it is and how to turn off the water to your home.  We are aware of situations where a burst pipe on the second floor of a home has made the house un-livable.  Know where your shutoff is, and show your spouse too!  Share this suggestion with your friends and neighbors.  Also, check every faucet or water line on these cold mornings and let them run for a minute, or so.  If there is no flow, you should investigate for a frozen pipe. 

 

Each property owner should know the exact location of their curb stop. That is where your outside water shut off is located, generally on your property boundary on the street side.
