To help residents keep meters and pipes from freezing up this winter, North Judson officials recently issued a reminder to leave water trickling when temperatures are consistently below 30 degrees.
They stressed that this is a very vital thing to do when conditions call for it since your meter could freeze up if the water isn’t trickling.
Utility crews will reportedly thaw out a resident’s meter once at no charge. However, if a service line freezes, there is nothing that can be done to thaw those out so it will remain frozen until the weather warms up.
It was noted that adjustments are made to the sewer portion of utility bills when residents are asked to keep their water running for this reason.
While this is what North Judson does, policies differ depending on the municipality.
If you have any questions, contact North Judson Town Hall at 574-896-3340.
