COLD WEATHER TIPS
Small steps can help protect your home, your neighborhood, and the city during extreme cold.
Let a thin stream of cold water run from a low-level faucet when temps drop below freezing.
Open cabinet doors to help warm air reach indoor pipes, especially under sinks.
Disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off exterior spigots.
Keep bottled water on hand for temporary service disruptions.
Check sump pumps to reduce the risk of basement flooding.
Know that street sweeping cannot operate during freezing temperatures, service may be temporarily paused for safety.
Clear leaves and debris from storm drains when safe to do so.
Keep sidewalks and curb lines clear for crews and equipment.
Stay tuned to DPW social media and emails for service updates.
