Restaurants, amusement parks and hospitals are dealing with water and heating issues after severe cold temperatures and snow swept through the area last week.
Here’s a look at the ongoing problems around the area.
Just before Christmas, the Glendale restaurant said a water main break caused major damage throughout the restaurant. It does not yet have a timeline to reopen, according to the restaurant’s social media.
Water flooded part of the Ohio Statehouse Tuesday, dousing the Senate chambers, a nearby lounge for senators, the statehouse press room and pooling outside Gov. Mike DeWine’s office. The flooding was caused by a pipe that burst over the Senate chamber, said Laura Battocletti, executive director of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, which maintains the statehouse.
