Our Utility Billing team has received numerous calls this morning from residents concerned about the lack of hot water. If your water is running but not heating up, it could be due to frozen pipes. Unfortunately, this is beyond our scope. However, you can take proactive steps to prevent freezing:

* Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. Ensure harmful chemicals are moved out of children s reach.
* During very cold weather, let cold water drip from faucets connected to exposed pipes. Even a slight flow helps prevent freezing.
* Maintain a consistent thermostat setting day and night. While this may increase heating costs temporarily, it prevents costly repairs from frozen pipes bursting.
* If you ll be away during cold spells, keep your home heated to at least 55°F to prevent pipes from freezing.
