"Milwaukee Department of Public Works Supervisor Dave Goldapp said this is looking to be a budget-busting winter.\"It's a budget killer is what it is because we haven't even sat down and got a figure on how much this is going to set us back,\" he said.Milwaukee crews have been working 24/7 since Jan. 1, Goldapp said.There was a new water main break Tuesday afternoon on the northwest side. The crew the city called into service was the eighth crew called into service on Tuesday alone.Goldapp said this is the worst winter he's seen in 30 years.Milwaukee Water Utility workers said they're on track to set a record for repairs this winter with more than 400 broken or frozen water lines since December.In West Bend, water crews said Tuesday was a record-breaking day for them as far as frozen water lines.West Bend homeowner Jim Holzhauer is a victim of frozen underground water pipes.\"Well, we were out of town for five days, came home, turned the water on, and there was no water,' Holzhauer said.The frost has crept farther and farther underground to about 6 feet now."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
