A FEW SIMPLE THINGS CAN KEEP YOU FROM HAVING TO DEAL WITH A FROZEN WATER METER OR FROZEN PIPES IN YOUR HOME. DAVID MORRIS WITH THE ALBUQUERQUE-BERNALILLO COUNTY WATER UTILITY AUTHORITY SAYS IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP A TAP DRIPPING AND TO OPEN CUPBOARDS TO ALLOW WARM AIR TO REACH INTERIOR PIPES, ESPECIALLY THOSE ALONG OUTSIDE WALLS. MORRIS SAYS TIPS ARE AVAILABLE AT A SPECIAL WEBSITE SET UP BY THE AUTHORITY: WWW.FROZENFIVE.COM.

 

THIS PAST WEEKEND SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE CALLED THE UTILITY TO REPORT FROZEN WATER METERS. MORRIS SAYS THEY'RE GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER BOUT OF VERY COLD WEATHER THIS WEEKEND.
