Major renovations may have to
be done to fix a problem with
freezing pipes at Blyth Memorial
Hall, Blyth council fears.
Earlier this month, frozen pipes
caused extensive water damage to
the ceiling in the lobby area.
Blyth firefighters responded to
the scene when the fire alarms went
off. In a letter to council, Fire Chief
Paul Josling explained after shut-
ting off the alarm, he proceeded to
the link (the hallway between the
Blyth Festival and memorial Hall)
and found water pouring from the
ceiling in the lobby area. _
"It was not coming from the
sprinkler heads...I believe frozen
pipes are the cause of this prob-
lem," he stated in the letter.
He recommended the hallway
ceiling be removed and the sprin-
kler pipes be dropped down below
the ceiling into the heated space in
an attempt to solve the problem of
pipes freezing.
This recommendation was
approved by the Memorial Hall
Board and passed onto council.
When questioned who would
bear the brunt of the cost, Clerk-
Treasurer Helen Grubb informed
council the village's insurance poli-
cy would cover it, subject to $1000
deductible fee. However, if the
insurance adjuster found the gener-
al contractor of the building was at
fault, then the $1,000 would be
paid back.
Councillor Doug Scrimgeour said
he believes the damage was caused
by a design fault since the sprinkler
pipes shouldn't have been placed
above the ceiling.
The issue was discussed but
council decided not to make any
decisions until the insurance
adjuster had inspected the site and
given a report.
