If you have any questions, please call the District Superintendent @ 743-0978 ext.13. April 2, 2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To avoid your internal plumbing from freezing, maintain a mild temperature in your basement, stop any drafts from entering the area, and disconnect all outdoor water hoses. If your basement is not heated, insulate your water pipes and meter. If your property is vacant, notify us to have the water service turned off outside and remove the meter, also, consider winterizing the home’s internal plumbing system. If your outside water service line is susceptible to frost, you may want to let your water run at a pencil thin stream once the ground is frozen, until the thaw, to avoid your outside service line freezing.

Chlorine will be added to our system year-round, on a permanent basis. Chlorine can be removed from the water used in your home by installing a whole house carbon water filter. These filters can be purchased at most hardware stores, including the local Walmart. Contact the District Superintendent at (413) 743-0978 ext.13 with any questions regarding this matter.
