As we continue to face freezing and below freezing temperatures in
the coming days, home owners will need to take precautions to keep their
pipes from freezing.
When temperatures reach extreme
lows, it is recommended that residents leave water running from a faucet, with
a stream that’s approximately the size of a pencil lead. In order to help
protect exposed water pipes, citizens are also asked to keep crawlspace doors
and any other openings closed to prevent drafts from entering the home.
As of Thursday afternoon, some places, such as Knox and Hamlet, had issued an official Freeze Warning for residents.
If you have any specific questions, you can contact your local water department officials. Any water-related emergencies should be reported to the authorities and they will alert utility crews immediately.
