Deep frost driving Saskatoon's water main break pace

Saskatoon’s water main breaks so far this year are outpacing those of four years ago, which was one of the worst years in the last quarter-century.
Russ Munro, the City of Saskatoon’s director of water and waste stream, told a city council committee Tuesday this year’s 48 water main breaks are slightly ahead of the 2014 pace.
The same conditions appear to be driving this year’s high number of water main breaks as in 2014: Cold temperatures with very little snow cover.
