Planning, teamwork and cooperation helped prevent this week’s water leak from becoming a bigger crisis than it ultimately was.
“Sometimes a game plan all of a sudden has to get changed really quickly, and that’s what really took place,” he continued.
“On Monday morning they evaluated it, but they determined it was starting to fail even faster, so the decision was made basically to valve it off, rip it out, and put a new one in.” It was believed that the remaining 10-inch transmission line would be able to keep up with demand, so a voluntary water conservation advisory was issued.
Each put their own contingency plans in place as they were notified of the water issue on Thursday.
The boil water advisory remained in effect late Wednesday night and was expected to last through today at the very least.
“Everything worked out well and it was a good effort,” Perkins said.
Robison echoed Perkins’ comments and noted the contributions of everybody, including village Superintendent of Public Works Shane Evans and all the village workers who addressed the crisis.
“Really, the amount of planning and work that went into this, and just the ability of our village crew, and particularly Shane, to make some pretty serious adjustments on the fly — it was really an example of how things should work when you have a crisis situation like that,” Robinson said.
“I can’t say enough about Shane, and I can’t saw enough about our entire crew, from our water crew to our streets people.
He said Perkins was with the village the entire way.

ONSTED — A boil-water advisory was issued to some Onsted village residents Sunday following a water main break in the village.
The village announced on its website Sunday afternoon that due to a break on Main Street, “bacterial contamination may have occurred in the water system.” The boil-water advisory is expected to be in effect until Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Residences affected are on Main Street north of Parkside Drive to Crestview Drive, along with three addresses on Conner Street.
Affected residents were hand-delivered notices, according to the village.
The water main break and boil-water advisory does not affect any businesses, including restaurants, or the Onsted Community Schools campus, according to the village’s Facebook page.
Onsted has previously had two water main breaks this year, one Jan. 4 along Maple Street and the other Jan. 17 along Third Street.
Both breaks only affected a small part of the village due to the network’s connectivity setup.

An authority in Charleroi was investigating a third water line rupture on a pipeline that led Tuesday to a boil-water advisory in the Mon Valley.
Monessen Councilman David Feehan said the line broke again on a major transmission line on a hill in Rostraver Township where a landslide along Route 906 was also under investigation.
The section of roadway is in Rostraver Township.
Valerie Petersen, spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation, said PennDOT crews were monitoring the landslide, which was caused by line rupture.
Route 906 did not close due to the landslide, which required plow trucks to move mud from the roadway.
The boil-water advisory remained in place until further notice in Monessen, North Charleroi, Charleroi and Speers, Pappasergi said.
The water supply will be tested again Thursday to confirm whether it tests negative for the presence of disease-causing organisms.
Water buffaloes have been set up at: Speers Borough Building, 300 Phillips St.; Charleroi Fire Department, 328 Fallowfield Ave., Lock No.
4 Volunteer Fire Co., 550 Isabella Ave.; and Monessen Fire Department No.
1, 239 Donner Ave.

(WANE) – A boil water advisory put into place in Wolcottville after a fire fight drained the town’s water supply has been lifted.
The town normally pumps 80,000 to 100,000 gallons of water a day.
On the day of the fire, it pumped over 220,000 gallons.
Days later, a boil water advisory was issued as a safety precaution.
"It didn’t necessarily ran out of water," Utilities Superintendent Darin Garrett said.
Garrett said when the pressure in the water system gets that low, the town issues a boil water notice as a precaution.
His team is sending two water samples to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management so they can give the all clear.
That rang true.
On Wednesday, the town lifted the boil water advisory.
For Twin Six Restaurant, the advisory meant a small loss of business.

It’s the same line that has lead to a boil water advisory for people living in Monessen, Charleroi and Speers.
The water was turned off for about 15 to 20 minutes Wednesday afternoon, according to the Water Authority.
About 3,000 customers are impacted and are using the water buffaloes, including 90-year-old Irene Sarran.
"You need it for your teeth.
You don’t realize how much you need water until something like this happens," Sarran said.
