]]>

We have seen huge decreases in water usage this year with repairs and replacement of leaky lines and water mains.

Winter usually brings an increase in water usage as some residents keep water running to avoid freezing of water lines. If you need to do this, remember that the faucet needs to be open only a very small amount; just enough to keep the water moving.

We encourage you to insulate your water lines to avoid needing to run water. Ways to do this yourself are on our new Winter page.
