The City of Millington’s Water Department urges residents to prepare for extreme cold to prevent frozen or burst water pipes. Pipes can burst anytime temperatures fall below freezing, causing property damage and water loss.
Recommended Preventive Measures:
• Allow faucets to drip
• Open cabinet doors to circulate warm air
• Detach hoses from outdoor spigots
• Insulate exposed outdoor pipes
• Businesses closed for extended periods should check for broken pipes or leaking fire suppression systems Emergency Water Shut-Off
Residents should know the location of their main water shut-off valve, often located in a closet or under a sink. If pipes burst, water can be shut off at the street using a meter key, available at most hardware stores.
