Notice of Cold Weather - Protect Your Water Lines
Posted On Monday January 20, 2025
As colder temperatures settle in, the Municipality of Grey Highlands reminds residents to protect their water lines from freezing. Damage caused by freezing water lines or meters is the homeowner’s responsibility.
Helpful Tips to Prevent Freezing:
- Ensure the area around your water meter is heated and insulated.
- Protect pipes near exterior walls, crawl spaces, or cold cellars with proper insulation.
- Keep your home above freezing if it is not your permanent residence, and arrange for someone to monitor the heat regularly.
- Shut off and drain any pipes leading to outdoor taps.
- Monitor the weather for extreme cold warnings and take necessary precautions.
