Dear fellow Hanoverians:
This just in from the Meads Family of Hanover:
As many of you who travel down Union Street may have seen on Friday,
February 12th, there was a water main break which closed down Union and Old
Washington Streets for several days. The break happened at the end of our
driveway, collapsing one lane of the road. We were out of town for the
day, and upon returning home in the early hours of Sunday morning, realized
there was no running water or heat in our house (our furnace requires water
to run). The temperature in the house was 37 degrees; outside it was 10
below zero. Concerned our pipes would freeze and after learning that the
town was unaware that the water main break had left our home without heat
and water, we spoke to Neal Merritt and Tom Chiarelli of the DPW who were
stationed outside on the road, along with several others. A short time
later, Neal miraculously arrived back at the house with a handful of space
heaters to try and keep the pipes from freezing. There was a team of
Hanover DPW and Hanover Police working day and night Friday through Monday
to make repairs and keep people safe.
Our family wants to thank everyone involved for their professionalism and
hard work to fix a very serious issue during the record breaking cold
temperatures. We really appreciate everything everyone has done and want
everyone else to know how hard working these folks are. This is truly one
of the benefits of living in a small town – people care about their
neighbors. Everyone’s generosity is appreciated.
Thank You – The Meads Family
