Explosion in St. Peters home during home improvement project
A home improvement project is being blamed for the explosion at a St. Peters home.
Officials with the Cottleville Fire Protection District say a contractor was working to refinish a concrete floor, but did not have adequate ventilation. The contractor also said the hot water heater was left on, prompting the explosion.
The house will need major work before it is livable again.

Crews start work to replace miles of water mains in Ballwin
The work to replace two miles of water pipeline along Manchester Road in Ballwin kicks off Monday night.
Starting every night at 8:30, crews will dig up water mains between Henry Avenue and Old Ballwin Road. KSDK reports the pipes are between 70 and 100 years old. Crews will be working from 8:30 pm to 6am to minimize the impact on traffic, but the inside westbound lane will be occasionally closed.
Work should be done before MoDOT plans to re-pave Manchester in 2014.
