To Prevent Frozen Pipes, Battle Creek Residents Asked to Run Water

BATTLE CREEK, Mich – The City of Battle Creek Water Division is asking residents and businesses to run their faucets to help prevent frozen water lines.

The city says it’s identified areas where the water system is more susceptible to freezing and is asking customers in those areas to follow the request.

If you are in the area described below, the city asks that you continuously run the water until further notice.  The amount of flow should be approximately 3/8” in size, or about the size of a pencil.  This flow should prevent the service line from freezing.

Billing adjustments will be provided for accounts that have been told to run water. The affected accounts will also receive a letter from the city with more information. Once the weather warms the city will tell customers when they should stop running the water.

Billing adjustments will only be applied to customers in this area or that were instructed to run water because of a history of freezing water lines.
