Don't Let The Pipes Freeze in KC This Winter!!! - 12/04/10 08:41 AM
With temps now dipping below freezing in the Kansas City area, thought it prudent to share a couple of very important winter-water-service-related items:
 
1. Don't assume because a property is vacant and water service has been cancelled, that water has been turned-off--NOT the norm for the KC Water Department. IMPORTANT INFO:
KCWSD NO LONGER TURNS OFF WATER WHEN MOVE OUT IS REQUESTED
 
2. Even if heat is on, make sure your property is protected from winter water freezes! IMPORTANT INFO:
KCWSD WINTERIZATION TIPS FOR HOMEOWNERS
 
Hope this info. helps you keep old man winter out of your water … (2 comments)
