ANIMAL SHELTER
WATER LINE REPAIRS: WHAT TO EXPECT
The City of Nassau Bay Animal Shelter is excited to introduce Koda, a seven-monthold male Staffordshire Terrier mix now available for adoption! Koda has been neutered, is current on all vaccinations and is microchipped. Koda is a very active, sweet dog that shows no aggression whatsoever. He is good with cats and dogs alike!
With aging infrastructure, namely cast iron piping that does not flex like more modernized PVC water pipes, stress fractures and water breaks can happen. This is especially true on hot days, when temperatures exceed 100 degrees.
Help us find a loving forever home for Koda! Please contact Animal Control Officer Troy Bradfield at 832-574-0877 and schedule a time to meet one of our dogs or cats ready for adoption. The Shelter is open MondayThursday from 7:30AM to 5:30PM and Friday from 7:30AM-11:30AM. Find us on Facebook @NassauBayAnimalShelter

When water leaks occur, the City is required by law to work with private contractors to locate underground utilities, such as electrical lines, gas lines, cable lines and fiberoptic lines. Once that work is completed, your Public Works Department crews can get to work.
With most water leaks, residents will immediately notice heavy equipment and emergency lights as the crew gets to work. Once the break has been located, crews will either place a clamp on the existing water line or prepare to install a new section of water line in order to complete the needed repairs. This work can take several hours, depending on a range of factors including the severity of the leak itself. Regardless, crews will remain on-site until the repair is completed and properly backfilled, even if this means working through the evening or into the early morning hours. After the leak is fixed, crews will clean up the site, transport their equipment back to storage, and give the ground time to settle. This rest period prevents a low spot from forming on the property. After about two weeks, grass will be re-planted, and the site will look as good as new. When a water leak occurs, our top priority is getting repairs completed quickly and efficiently, but we also prioritize communicating the leak to impacted residents. Citizens will receive a phone call or email from the Public Works Department, and information is also added to the City’s social media accounts.
