Water pipe breaks in ceiling of local animal shelter, endangering animals and leaving damage behind.
The Norfolk SPCA is asking the community to help repair water damage resulting from a pipe that exploded in the shelter's ceiling on Wednesday, July 25, 2001. For over three hours water gushed like a waterfall out of the ceiling of the animal care facility. Employees fought the rushing water with buckets and towels until there was access to turn off the main water line. Nearly three inches of water flooded the halls and surgery suite of the animal shelter. The water destroyed six walls, several ceiling tiles, a smoke detector, ceiling insulation and created a host of electrical concerns.
