Burst pipes interrupt ER’s Mobile Meals
Broken water pipes at Jenks Simmons Field House forced Mobile Meals to shut down, hopefully for no more than a week. El Reno Schools Superintendent Matt Goucher said the pipes that broke overnight on Jan. 16 were on an exterior wall at Jenks. With arctic temperatures arriving a few days before, the pipes were an easy target for the subfreezing temps.
Goucher said he is surprised the pipes had not broken before. In February of 2021, winter weather kept temperatures at or near zero for well over a week.
