City of Moscow Suggests Preparing for Freezing Temperatures

 

Moscow, Idaho, December 12, 2008 - With the onset of colder temperatures
and the upcoming holidays, the City of Moscow Water Department would
like to make a few suggestions to help prevent plumbing and water pipes
from freezing.

 

*	Leave cabinet doors under sinks open, especially if they are
located on exterior walls.
*	Set thermostats no lower than 55 degrees, even if the house is
unoccupied.
*	Do not remove snow from the tops of water meter boxes unless it
creates a safety hazard. An accumulation of snow will help insulate the
water meter service and prevent freezing.
*	Do not open water meter boxes as this will allow any natural
heat to escape and may contribute to freezing of the water system. 
*	Please call the water department for any problem with the water
meter or emergency water shutoff.

For more information please contact the Moscow Water Department at
882-3122.
