Monitor your pipes
Residents are advised that noisy water pipes or sinking ground could be indications of a service break. Any concerns should be reported to 668-8350.
Frost Depth
Please be advised to keep your water service frost protection on (February 2019). Even though air temperatures are warming, the ground frost is still at 3m – 4m deep in most areas of town, at which services are most vulnerable to freezing. Please keep your frost protection on until you are advised to turn it off in mid-June. Your frost protection devices could include authorized free flowing bleeders, thermostatically controlled bleeders, circulating pumps, electrical impedance heat trace and aqua flows.
IMPORTANT: Make sure if you plan to be away for more than a day and you have a City supplied Sentinel Thermostatically Controlled Bleeder, to put it on Vacation Mode.
