Cold weather tips

Prevent frozen pipes

• Direct a fan from a room with heat towards the service line.
• Turn a faucet on a very slow stream and let it run to keep the line moving.
• If your service line is in an area without heat, leave doors open and a clear path.

Extreme cold warning

• Dress warm: cover your face, hands, and head.
• Check on relatives, neighbors, pets, older adults, and other high-risk community members to make sure they are staying safe.
• Heat your home safely. Only use generators and grills outdoors and away from windows. Never heat your home with a gas stovetop or oven.
• Find a warming space.

Motor vehicle reminder

• Never warm your vehicle in an enclosed area such as a garage.
• Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid a gas line freeze up.
• If you need to travel, check road conditions, pack an emergency kit for your car and tell people when you are supposed to arrive.
