It&#8217;s believed that some pipes may have broken during the recent frigid temperatures but will not be visible until it warms up this weekend. Additionally, the quick freeze and thaw cycle we&#8217;ll be seeing can cause pipes to break.<br \/>\nResidents should call 311 to report a water main break. If the reporting is after normal business hours <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-74150 alignleft\" style=\"color: #4db2ec; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 32px; text-transform: uppercase;\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-1-1_logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"186\" height=\"107\">there will be nighttime and weekend prompt on the recording, to allow residents to reach the water maintenance department.<br \/>\nWith this week&#8217;s heavy winds, there is much debris and trash blown throughout the community. As snow and ice start to melt residents are encouraged to check storm drains and clear them, so the runoff doesn&#8217;t back up in our neighborhood streets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/92357.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"City of Fort Wayne Utilities Director Kumar Menon during the Light Lease press conference on June 1, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='448d050ae793ae9eb587100fd9ea0461' data-image-id=\"2012\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/92357.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_92357.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/06\/02: Kumar Menon\" data-description=\"City of Fort Wayne Utilities Director Kumar Menon during the Light Lease press conference on June 1, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/06\/02: Kumar Menon\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/06\/02: Kumar Menon\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2012\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_92357.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/98213.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Ozzie Mitson (Business &amp;amp; Legislative Liaison), Mayor Tom Henry and Kumar Menon (City Utilities Director) during the July 1, 2009 press conference.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='448d050ae793ae9eb587100fd9ea0461' data-image-id=\"2741\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/98213.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_98213.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/07\/01: Ozzie Mitson, Mayor Tom Henry, Kumar Menon\" data-description=\"Ozzie Mitson (Business &amp;amp; Legislative Liaison), Mayor Tom Henry and Kumar Menon (City Utilities Director) during the July 1, 2009 press conference.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/07\/01: Ozzie Mitson, Mayor Tom Henry, Kumar Menon\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/07\/01: Ozzie Mitson, Mayor Tom Henry, Kumar Menon\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2741\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_98213.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/j06-169_j06-178_20131121_b_dags.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Photo of grease blockages in sewer pipe.
