💧 HELP US CONSERVE WATER💧

With below-freezing temperatures, LBWS is asking customers to help conserve water and protect the system so service can remain available for everyone.

Instead of letting faucets run, we encourage the following water-saving steps to help prevent frozen pipes and unnecessary strain on the system:

🔒 Shut off your water at the meter (customer-side valve)
Turning the water off at the source and draining your pipes is one of the most effective ways to protect your plumbing during extreme cold.

🧊 Drain your pipes
Open the lowest exterior faucet on your home to allow water to drain from the lines.

🚪 Open cabinets under sinks
This allows warmer air to circulate around plumbing inside your home.

🔍 Check for leaks after temperatures rise
Freezing and thawing can cause pipes to shift or crack, so please inspect your property carefully once conditions improve.

🧯 Know where your shut-off valve is located
Being able to turn off water quickly can help minimize damage and conserve water if a leak occurs.

⚠️ Why this matters:
During winter weather, water systems across the state experience increased demand when faucets are left running. Conserving water helps reduce stress on the system and allows our crews to continue providing reliable service to the community.

Thank you for doing your part to conserve water, protect your plumbing, and support system reliability during this cold weather. Stay safe and warm! ❄️

It has come to our attention that there is an individual out in the community knocking on the doors of our customers claiming to be an employee of our water system. It was reported that this individual is alleging that money is owed and that payment is required. Please know that a LBWS employee is forbidden from taking any form of payment in the field as all payments must be made through the LBWS office.

- Take shorter showers and turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
- Check for and fix any leaky faucets or toilets.
- Refrain from watering lawns, water slides and filling pools
By working together, we can ensure a reliable water supply for our community. If you see a leak please report it to our office. Thank you for your cooperation. g
