Frozen, burst pipes close schools in Lake Stevens, Camano, Edmonds
STANWOOD Water damage forced at least four local schools to close this week after a record cold snap hit the area this weekend.
In the Stanwood-Camano Island district, pipes burst in four schools: Utsalady Elementary, Elger Bay Elementary, Stanwood Middle School and Port Susan Middle School. Stanwood Middle School also had heating equipment that needed repair, according to a district social media post.
As of Monday afternoon, most of the damaged schools in the Stanwood-Camano area were safe to reopen. Utsalady Elementary School on Camano Island was the only one in the district set to be closed on Tuesday.
Pipes particularly those near to or inside of exterior walls appear to have been damaged by the record-low sub-freezing temperatures recorded across the region, the district wrote.
