Frigid weather costly to Hartland school

Kennebec Journal, February 6, 2007

(excerpt) Somerset Valley Middle School students were expected to return to class today after a broken water pipe forced the cancellation of classes on Monday.

A malfunction in the an air handling unit caused a water pipe to freeze and burst open, said William Braun, superintendent of School Administrative District 48. Water destroyed part of the ceiling, took the school's fire suppression equipment off line and soaked the carpeting.
