Fire Department Carport
The carport at the Fire Department was added at the time of the Police addition.
The roof of the carport is higher than the entry way to the hose tower. This
blocked one side of the entry way from draining, so two scuppers were put in the
wall of the carport where it extends above the entry way. This drains part of'
the water from the entry roof to the pavement in the carport, where it freezes
in the winter.
A roof drain was installed in the carport and piped between the trusses of the
carport to the wall of the entry and then to the pavement under the carport.
In the winter the water drizzles down the pipe and freezes on the end of the pipe
until it blocks the drain. Then .the pipe fills with. water and.freezes ..... It .broke
at the 90 at the entry roof and pulled the pipe apart under the roof drain. The
break at the 90 damaged the entry roof where the flashing went around the pipe.
This caused the roof of the entry way to leak. The hole was patched with mastic
but the leak didn't seal.
Last v~ea~ the entire roof of the Public Safety Building was flood coated. We
thought this would solve the problem, but the roofer told us he couldntt
guarantee that area. This year it started leaking again.

We have talked to the roofer. He said we could do away with the roof drain, put
a scupper in the carport roof at the entry roof, which would drain the carport,
slope the entry roof with rigid insulation to the opposite side of the entry
(away from the carport side). This would do away with the two suppers which
drain onto the carport floor and take care of the leaking problem on the entry
roof.
