Burst Pipe Floods Cafeteria At Neshaminy School

LANGHORNE, PA —While districts prepare facilities for the upcoming school year, the Neshaminy School District has had to put in a little extra work this summer.

The Facilities Department staff working at the Joseph Ferderbar Elementary School had to handle a burst pipe that flooded the cafeteria, entry hall, and several classrooms over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

School officials said the staff has been busy cleaning up, replacing damaged carpeting and tiles, and moving furniture besides the usual work involved with stripping and waxing the floors.

"Things already look pretty good and by the time our teaching staff and students return, Ferderbar will be looking great and ready for the new school year," school officials said.
