Frigid Temps Have Led To Numerous Water-main Breaks

(Portland, OR)  --  The Portland Water Bureau says frigid temperatures have led to a number of water-main breaks in the city, including ten within three days and nearly 50 in the past week.  Drivers were warned yesterday to watch for crews working on repairing one of the latest ruptures, in the area of Southwest Barbur Boulevard near Hamilton Street.  Officials say Portland averages about 200 water-main breaks per year.
