The Fond du Lac water utility is offering tips for customers
to protect water pipes in their homes and businesses from breaking or
freezing during the extreme cold weather.
Water Operations manager, Kathy Scharf, says make sure your basement is above freezing and insulate
pipes or faucets in unheated areas.
Seal off access doors, air vents and cracks, open cabinets and closets that contain water lines to allow circulation of
warm air, locate the master shutoff valve so water can quickly be turned off if a leak
occurs and allow a tin steady stream of water to run constantly if you know conditions at your
property are not adequate.
