LWC Cold Weather Tips

Publication1

As the temperatures drop, it’s a busy time for Louisville Water Company (LWC) crews and customers.  LWC has seen a spike in the number of water main breaks, which happens in extremely cold weather. 

For customers, the cold weather can lead to problems with their internal plumbing.  LWC receives lots of calls from customers with frozen water lines or burst lines.  Unfortunately, LWC only maintains the lines that connect to the property. Preventative maintenance can minimize the risk of frozen water pipes. 

Please click here to view an infographic that highlights the steps customers can take.  In addition, a video on the LWC website explains how to find and tag the water shut-off valve inside the home.  Knowing the location of this valve is important regardless of the weather, since the valve controls the flow of water into the home.
