How to Prevent Frozen Water Pipes
How to prevent frozen water pipesThe City of Fort Scott Water Department would like to remind everyone of a few tips that will help prevent frozen water pipes in your home.
  1. Eliminate drafts and repair any broken windows in basement and crawl spaces.
  2. Insulate pipes most susceptible to freezing.
  3. Disconnect garden hoses from outside hydrants.
  4. Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow air to circulate and prevent pipes from freezing.
  5. Letting a thin stream of water run from a faucet while experiencing sub-zero weather, can keep pipes from freezing.
  6. Know where the master water valve is located in your home.  This will allow you to shut the water off should a line freeze and break.

The typical symptom of a frozen water line is that one or more of the water fixtures in a building or a residence will not provide water.  If some faucets are dry and others still work, the customer should contact a plumber of their choice to assist in thawing of the line.  If all faucets in a residence or building are dry, the customer should contact the Water Department for further checking.  From 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you may call the Water Office at 223-8133, or after- hours call the Water Plant at 223-5160.
