Prevent Frozen Water Pipes and Water Meters

When temperatures are below zero for several days, water pipes and water meters exposed to cold air may freeze. Property owners are responsible for preventing this damage. Owners of vacant property should check pipes and if there is no heat in a building, contact the Milwaukee Water Works to arrange to have the water shut off.
