WATER FLOWS THROUGH CLUBHOUSE

Elyria – As if Spring Valley Country Club didn’t have enough problems already, here comes the water.

Elyria Firefighters responded to the Country Club on Gulf Road Wednesday afternoon after an automatic fire alarm sounded. Chief Ron Brlas of the Elyria Fire Department said that the alarm was triggered by a sprinkler head that busted in the 2nd floor men’s locker room. “As soon as that sprinkler is activated we are notified through the alarm company. When we arrived we were able to gain entry to the building and found the broken sprinkler head on the second floor.”

Chief Brlas said that the City Utilities Department arrived on scene and quickly turned off the water to the facility, but not before the 2nd floor was flooded with 2 to 3 inches of water.

A man who identified himself as a Board Member arrived and said; when it rains it pours.
