The chill of winter and lower temperatures commonly bring unexpected challenges to home and commercial water and sewer systems. The South Granville Water & Sewer Authority (SGWASA) understands the importance of reliable water service, even during the harshest winter months. By taking a few simple precautions, you can help lessen the possibility of frozen pipes and interrupted water supply at your home or business.
Insulate exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas like basements or crawl spaces. If freezing temperatures are anticipated, a slow trickle of water from your faucets can also help prevent freezing. Remember to disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off outside water valves to avoid frozen pipes.
Stay informed by monitoring SGWASA's website and local weather platforms for updates on potential winter storms and freezing temperatures that could impact the infrastructure.
