With the extremely cold weather coming up soon, #Schererville Public Works Water Dept. wants to inform the Public on how to prevent frozen water pipes in your home.

- Let cold water drip out of the faucet. As long as water is circulating through the plumbing, even at a drip, it should help prevent freezing.

- Open up cabinets that house plumbing so warmer air in your home can reach it more easily.
- If your water lines run through your garage, keep it closed.
- Keep your heat set to the same temperature during the night and day.
