PUBLIC NOTICE
FREEZING WATER AND SEWER LINES
This year’s severe winter conditions have caused an unusually deep frost line in the soil, placing water and sewer lines in jeopardy of freezing. The Water and Sewer Ordinance dictates that the property owner is responsible for the cost of maintenance, repair, and replacement of service lines from the main through the meter, including the curb stop. We are asking your help to prevent freezing of your individual water service to avoid costly repairs to your service.
Please check the temperature of your tap water: A water temperature of 38 F or below is a concern. Turn faucet on at its coldest setting and let water run for 5-10 minutes. Fill glass with water and use kitchen/food thermometer to observe temperature reading. City Hall has several thermometers if you need to borrow one.
Potential solution to prevent freezing lines: Run a trickle of water- stream size the width of a pencil lead. Please note running a trickle of water presents some risk of sewer line freezing. A large use of warm water daily, such as showering, should minimize the risk.
Water Billing Adjustment: Must register To receive adjustment on billing you must contact Kari Follman, City Auditor at 701-466-2930 to be registered. Those registered will be charged their normal usage (determined by a 3-month average of water usage). Credit will be given for up to 12,000 gallons of water over normal usage.
Concerns, Questions, Need Assistance: Please call! City Hall: 701-466-2930, Justin Nelsen 701-351-0563
