Wapello Rural Water Assoc. Municipal Water Report Info

Winter Weather Precautions
Extreme cold can cause pipes to freeze and potentially burst, resulting in flooding and costly water damage. If you've experienced frozen pipes before or during severe cold, allow one faucet to run very slowly, particularly those furthest from your main water line entry point.

Emergency Preparedness
• Know your water shutoff valve location to prevent home damage if pipes burst
• When away during cold weather, maintain home heating at minimum 55°F
• Have someone check your property during your absence
• If turning heat off, drain all water from pipes, toilets, and water heater, and disconnect the water heater power

Meter Pit Maintenance
Service personnel locate meter pits by the white plastic remote post. Please avoid accessing meter pits, especially in winter. If emergency access is necessary, ensure proper replacement of both the frost lid and meter pit lid to prevent meter freezing.

Service Calls
If experiencing no water or suspected frozen pipes, check internal plumbing before contacting our office. A $50 plus tax service charge applies if the problem is found on the customer side of the meter.
