Indiana American Water Urges Customers to Prepare for Bitter Cold

With frigid temperatures in the forecast, Indiana American Water is urging customers to secure homes and businesses against freezing pipes. “With much colder temperatures expected across the state over the next several weeks, we are encouraging customers to act now to protect their plumbing system against the extreme cold,” said President Matt Prine. “Failing to protect your plumbing from cold temperatures can be disruptive and very costly. When ice expands inside pipes, it creates tremendous pressure that can crack and burst them, leaving homeowners with a costly plumbing bill, and thousands of dollars in water damage.” The company is also encouraging customers to keep fire hydrants clear near their homes and businesses when snowfall accumulates, a small step can save precious time if firefighters need to access it in an emergency.
