According to the utilities department, yesterday's leaks led to 3 to 4 million gallons of water being lost. The sudden change of temperature from last week's arctic blast to the 40s of this week causes the soil to shift, which causes cracks in the pipes, especially some that are around a hundred years old. The city manages about 500 miles of water main pipes, so they often rely on residents to report possible leaks. Crews were out all day into the night doing repairs last night.
