Avoid Frozen Pipes

Due to the lower temperatures, please be aware that the pipes in your home may freeze if they are unprotected.  Here are some steps to avoid frozen pipes:

• Ensure areas that contain indoor water pipes are kept above 8ºC, especially near the water meter.
• Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage.
• Open kitchen, bathroom and laundry cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around the plumbing.
• If leaving for an extended period of time have someone check your home regularly and see the advice of a plumber on how to safely protect your pipes while away.
• Call the Town Water Department if you have any questions or need assistance:  519 925 2600 x 231 or after hours 519-938-0124
