ANTIGO - Last winter some important water mains burst in Antigo. The city managers wanted to start repairs this fall, but that won't happen because of the early snowfall and cold snap. The plans to fix the water mains have been pushed back to the Spring. One water main that needs fixing provides water the Langlade Hospital.
"We're going to be monitoring that very closely, the typical thing our crews to do in any winter is we'll flush hydrants in an area and we'll check water temperatures in our distribution system," said Antigo Administrator Mike Desotell. "If they're close to freezing, we might run more and flush more hydrants in the area to drive more direct-fed water from our wells."
