Is that true? <br /> It depends. Most water service lines(pipes)going into the home are not going to freeze. About 400 pipes have frozen <br /> out of 94,000 accounts or less than one half of one percent of all homes in our service area. <br /> However, predicting which ones will and won't freeze is difficult in weather such as ours. <br /> If the water service line to your home has frozen in the recent past,either in your property or in the street,you will <br /> have received a letter from us. <br /> If there is a chance of the water line freezing, why not just tell everyone to run their water? <br /> Because the chance is less than one half a percent that it will happen. We want to conserve precious water resources <br /> and keep our prices low for our customers, most of whom will not be affected by a frozen water line this winter. <br /> Running water unnecessarily will cost our customers an additional $100 a month to prevent an event that is unlikely <br /> to occur. <br /> How do I know if I should run my water to keep my pipes from freezing? <br /> Either you should have been contacted in a letter from SPRWS or your pipes have already frozen once this season and <br /> you are being asked by SPRWS to keep the lines open by running water. In these cases,you will not be charged for <br /> water used. <br /> 67 <br /> • <br />
