Markdale and KAT Water System Users

Notice of Cold Weather

January 21, 2019

This notice is to the users of the Markdale and Kimberley Amik Tailsman (KAT) Water Systems.  This is a friendly reminder that the colder temperatures are moving in for the winter.  It is extremely important to make sure that your water lines are protected from the cold. 

Tips

• Ensure that the area around the water meter is heated and protected from freezing.  (Any damage to private water lines and/or meter is at the homeowner’s expense)
• If you are not permanent resident ensure home is kept above freezing and that someone is checking the heat regularly.
• Leave any natural snow cover on or around the water lines under the ground, and near the outside wall where the lines run into the home, as this will insulate the ground from the cold.
• Keep an eye on the weather and any further warnings to be sure that the proper precautions can be taken as the weather gets colder.

Should you have any questions, please contact our Public Utilities Department at (519) 986-4784. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.

Respectfully,

Municipality of Grey Highlands
