Don't Let Winter Freeze Your Pipes! 🥶

Cold weather can wreak havoc on your home's plumbing system.
When temperatures drop, water inside pipes can freeze, expand, and cause pipes to burst. This can lead to significant water damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.

❄️ Choose Brine, Not Salt! ❄️

Protect our waterways this winter. Brine is a more environmentally friendly solution for de-icing driveways and sidewalks. It's less harmful to plants, pets, and our local ecosystems.

The following link is for a video that provides instructions on how to make brine at home. Check out saltsmart.org for more information on using salt and brine for winter weather.

Learn how to winterize your plumbing system to prevent frozen pipes and water damage.

❄️ Find shut off valves for emergencies.
❄️ Drip cold water in farthest faucet from your main valve. Moving water keeps pipes from freezing.
❄️ Call our customer service line immediately if you think your meter is frozen.
❄️ Don't wait until it's too late! More tips at

First, check with a neighbor to see if they’re experiencing the same issue. If they have a loss of water too, it may be the result of a main break. But if they have running water, it’s likely your pipes have frozen.

Happy Last Wastewater Wednesday. But never fear, As quickly as it's leaving, Water Wednesday will be here. For our last post we'll learn about the Analyzer as promised. We'll start by asking why this machine is necessary? Permit required nutrient testing is completed in the lab. Three different tests measure two different nutrients. The nutrients tested for are Total Phosphours (TP), and total nitrogen using NOX (nitrate, nitrite), and TKN (total kjeldahl nitrogen). It is important nutrient levels in the effluent are within permit requirements. Elevated nutrient levels can quickly have negative effects on ecosystems, like algal blooms. Next we'll ask how the analyzer works? It mixes reagents with prepared samples in chambers. The reaction produces a color, the machine reads the absorbance level of the color, and assigns it a numerical value based on a calibration scale, giving a nutrient value. Pretty simple right? Thanks for the interest you all have taken in wastewater over the past year. I hope you enjoy learning about the process behind cleaning your drinking water.

Leaky Toilet
Leaky Toilet

If you are a business owner and your commercial toilets are running constantly, or take an unusually long time to flush, then you may have a leaky toilet. It’s important to know where the shutoff valve is on your commercial toilets so that you can shut them off in case of an emergency. And if you are a customer, and notice this at an establishment, notify an employee. Watch the video for a demonstration of what a leaky toilet could look like.
