Operations have shifted after a pipe burst occurred Monday morning at the Crosswinds Gateway building at 315 South Market Street.
USD 253 Maintenance Director Bob Fancher reported the cause was a feeder line to a toilet that burst and ran overnight Sunday flooding the first-floor office building. At least three inches of standing water was present on the building’s second floor.
Crosswinds Interim CEO Amanda Cunningham originally reported operations would resume as normal Wednesday. Cunningham tells KVOE News operations had to be shifted to the Lyon County Fairgrounds Anderson Building after the damage was found to be more extensive than originally believed.
Cunningham says repairs are currently underway at the Gateway building and if they continue to progress at the current pace Crosswinds should be able to resume normal operations by Monday.
Cunningham also applauded the work of Crosswinds staff members for adjusting to the changes so effortlessly. The Gateway Building hosts Crosswinds summer programs which provides programs for roughly 70 local children.
