Okanagan cold snap leads to water damage
The centre says it’s not sure yet what caused the problem but believes it is related to the fire suppression system and that the cold snap this week played a role.
“The water was mainly in the stage area and the loading bay so we are just in the process of having it dry out. Once it is dried out we will know the extent of the damage,” Kennedy said.The theatre is not alone. The owner of a local restoration company says amid the frigid temperatures, it’s been busy this week.
Conan Ackert owner of Total Restoration Services said they’ve had customers call about frozen and ruptured pipes.Ackert has a few tips for keeping your water systems running when the temperature dips. He suggests making sure no hoses are attached outside the house, keeping your home warm, opening cabinet doors underneath sinks, and potentially allowing a cold water tap to slowly drip to keep stagnant water from freezing in the lines.Ticket holders will be notified about upcoming postponed shows directly.
