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.
