As the winter chill deepens, it's crucial to remember the small but significant steps we can take to protect our community's water system.


Over the next few days, we're expecting unusually cold temperatures, and it's vital for all of us to work together to prevent the risk of frozen or broken water lines.


Why Keeping a Tap Running Helps - When temperatures plummet, water in the pipes can freeze. This not only disrupts water supply but can also lead to pipes bursting, causing significant damage and inconvenience. By keeping a tap slightly open, you allow a small but steady flow of water through the pipes. This constant movement helps prevent water from freezing inside the pipes, reducing the risk of damage.


A Little Flow Goes a Long Way - You don't need to have a strong flow, just a slight trickle or a drip is enough to keep the water moving. This simple action can make a big difference in maintaining the integrity of our water system during these cold spells.


Community Effort for a Reliable Water Supply - We all rely on a consistent and safe water supply, especially during harsh winters. By taking this small step, you're not only protecting your home but also contributing to the overall resilience of our community's water system.


Let's all do our part to ensure a warm and worry-free winter. Remember, a little effort can prevent significant problems. Stay warm, stay safe, and let's keep our community's water flowing smoothly!
