Who fixes a water main break on my street in Bend?

What should I do if a pipe bursts during a Bend freeze?
Close the main shutoff, open the faucets to drain the lines, and keep heat on. Because freezes are occasional in Bend, many homes have pipes in attics or exterior walls; those are the usual breaks.
