Center btreet Moab, UT 84532 Gushing water from a ruptured water pipe flooded Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding on Nov. 23, forcing officials to close the museum for at least three months.

The volunteer fire department and police arrived within minutes, she said. We had neighbors who heard the alarm and rushed over to help us. Using a sump pump, shop vacuums and squeegees, volunteers and city and park staff had by evening collected most of the water and begun the messy task of removing debris and damaged carpet. A crew from the Utah State Parks southeast regional office in Moab arrived on Wednesday to tear out carpet in the museums second floor exhibit hall. Paul said Friday that it appears a pipe joint connection in a section of the museums fire suppression system was not properly crimped when it was installed more than 25 years ago. The system was inspected two weeks ago, and no problems were detected at the time. On Tuesday, the pipe joint burst, releasing a torrent of water that damaged walls, flooring, and display cases on the first and second floors of the museum. Paul said an estimated 18,000 gallons of water poured from the pipe in the 15 minutes it took park staff to shut down the systems main water valve. When it broke it had the force of a fire hydrant, Paul said.

The parks priceless collection of ancient Indian pottery, weavings, and other southeastern Utah artifacts escaped damage, but a temporary exhibit of photographs and text depicting the history Mesa Verde was totally destroyed Paul said. Fortunately, that display, on loan from Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, was computer-generate- d and can be recreated, Paul said. All display items from both floors have been moved to the museums curation wing for long-terstorage while made. are repairs We were incredibly lucky that none of the permanent exhibits were damaged, and our archives were untouched, Paul said. Structurally, thats another story. Well have to replace all the carpet and ceiling tiles, and the bases of some of the sealed exhibit boxes. And we dont know the extent of the damage to the fire suppression system. Weve got quite a mess. An inspector from the states risk management office arrived Friday afternoon to begin assessing the total cost of the damage, and Paul said estimates will probably be available next week. Repair work will likely take at least three months, and park officials have canceled all scheduled events through February. But Paul sees one positive result from the mishap.
