SAVOY – Most residents of a Savoy apartment complex are back home again, more than three weeks after frozen pipes forced tenants to live elsewhere.

Due to cold weather, water pipes froze and burst within several buildings at College Park Fields, Sterling Court, Savoy, on Wednesday, Jan. 2 and Thursday, Jan. 3. About 200 residents, mainly University of Illinois and Parkland College students, were evacuated at the time.
