Baker City Recommends Running Low Volume Water Streams to Prevent Pipe Freezing

BAKER CITY – (Release from the City of Baker City) The Baker City Public Works Department is suggesting that water customers whose services are prone to freezing run a thin stream of water at a faucet in their home or business to prevent frozen service lines and meters. The cold temperatures can force frost deep into the ground to the level of many service lines. A pencil stream of water will use approximately two gallons/day. We suggest that customers continue running water for the several days through this cold spell.
