Heat Causes Three Water Main Breaks | Roanoke News

Lynchburg’s pipes are sweating under the heat — three major water main breaks this weekend, all blamed on triple-digit temperatures stressing aging infrastructure. A 12-inch break on Wards Road near Fort Avenue flooded streets and parking lots, then washed out the ground beneath concrete, forcing road and sidewalk repairs. City crews are racing to fix it before July 7th, while drivers are urged to stay alert and follow Water Resources updates. This isn’t just a winter problem — extreme heat is just as damaging.
