"Yesterday morning Walter (Dad's brother) and I
went to eat breakfast at a restaurant (location
deleted to protect the guilty). They were unable to
open because they had no water. I, being the
helpful sort of person that we Hiltons are, agreed to
look around and see if I could locate the problem --
it eventually turned out to be a frozen water main. In
the course of looking I discovered that the T&P valve
(on the water heater) had leaked on the floor, so the
operator did the logical thing that an uninformed
person would do, they installed a pipe plug in the
escape port of the T&P valve. I told the lady now
operating the restaurant that was a no-no and that a
malfunction in the heater could cause a tremendous
explosion. She apparently did not understand or
take me seriously. I checked this morning and the
plug is still in the T&P valve. It could make
headlines anytime now. Hopefully they use enough
hot water during the day that a boom would occur
after hours. It needs to be corrected -- but how if the
owner or operator does not assume the
responsibility
