Secondary Water
Secondary water shut off on October 1st. Winterize your sprinkler system now to protect it during the winter months. In our climate, freezing temperatures can burst pipes and valves cannot properly drain.

Cross Connections
There are many connections to our water distribution system. When connections are properly installed and maintained, concerns are very minimal. However, improper connections can adversely affect not only the availability but also the quality of the water. A cross connection between culinary and secondary lines may let polluted water or even chemicals mingle into the water supply system when not properly protected. This not only compromises water quality but can also affect your health, impacting you and your family first.

Do not make or allow improper connections. Culinary water is not to be hooked up with sprinkler systems. Examples of cross connections include an unprotected garden hose lying in the puddle next to the driveway, or an unprotected lawn sprinkler system after fertilization.

If a cross-connection is found, there could be a fine imposed of $1,000 per incident (City Code 4.15.450). Contact Public Works if you have questions regarding how to protect water quality.
