Frisco Ready to respond to water line breaks

FRISCO CREWS READY TO RESPOND TO WATER LINE BREAKS CAUSED BY FREEZING TEMPERATURES; HOURS OF OPERATION/CANCELLATIONS FOR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5 (*as of 7:30 p.m. Friday)

(February 4, 2011) The City of Frisco advises residents city crews are available to respond to water line breaks caused by the inclement weather, as necessary.  Residents may call 972-292-6010 for help to ‘shut off’
water to their homes.

“As temperatures rise and pipes begin to thaw, we anticipate some folks will experience burst pipes,”
said Fire Chief Mack Borchardt, who also serves as the City of Frisco Emergency Management Coordinator. “Water line breaks can cause a considerable amount of property damage.  We’re prepared to help limit damage by turning off the water to homes.”

The Frisco Athletic Center (FAC) will resume its regularly scheduled weekend hours.  The FAC will be open 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sunday.  The Senior Center @ Frisco Square will also be open during its regularly scheduled hours, which are 11:30 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.  The Senior Center is closed on Sunday.

The Frisco Public Library also resumes its regular hours of 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Saturday and 1 – 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The Frisco Heritage Museum will remain closed over the weekend.

Municipal Court will open Monday, February 7 during regularly scheduled hours; however, individuals have until Thursday, February 10 to file documents, make payments or reschedule court dates missed February 1 – 4, due to weather. Municipal Court will be closed Tuesday – Wednesday, February 8 – 9, for required, annual training.
The City of Frisco’s Trick-A-Trout Kid Fish, scheduled for tomorrow, is postponed until next Saturday, February 12.  Icy road conditions and hazardous driving conditions for fisheries delivery trucks forced Parks and Recreation to postpone the event.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during these extreme weather conditions.
