1/16/24 - FREEZING WEATHER AND YOUR METER - With this current winter storm and the impending freezing rain expected tonight and into tomorrow,  we would like to take a moment to remind our members of a few cold weather hints.  Recently and in the past, a few of you have experienced frozen pipes and meters. Of all the visits the crew has made to customers that have had frozen meters or pipes, there was one thing that was the same, they forgot to keep a small amount of water flowing.  Some of you are worried about an expensive water bill but the truth is that running a small amount of water—about a tenth of a gallon a minute—is only 144 gallons a day and leads to a minimal cost. This will help decrease the number of frozen meters which is very hard on the meters themselves.   

Also, we know a lot of you like to insulate your meter boxes as well and it’s a good idea, but try and avoid using Styrofoam peanuts and newspaper because it creates a soggy mess when we need to get into the meters in the boxes.  And it can freeze to your meter if it gets wet in your box.  A practice we have seen in the system, with good results, is to  place plywood over the meter box.  This does offer some protection from freezing.  

We hope this helps.
