Preparing your Water Pipes for Winter
Extreme Weather Conditions: 
• A trickle of hot and cold  water might be all it takes to keep your pipes from freezing. Let warm water drip overnight, preferably from a faucet on an outside wall. 
Before You Leave
• Set the thermostat in your house no lower than 55°F (12°C).

What do you do if your pipes freeze?
• You may be able to thaw a frozen pipe with the warm air from a hair dryer. Start by warming the pipe as close to the faucet as possible, working toward the coldest section of pipe.

PWSD No. 3 Needs Your Assistance!

​The Lead and Copper Rule is a United States federal regulation that monitors the levels of lead & copper in public drinking water supply systems. In 2021, The Lead and Copper Rule was revised. Under this new rule, PWSD No. 3 is required to identify the material used in the customer’s service line.

PWSD No. 3 is asking for your assistance by completing a short questionnaire.

Beginning February 20, 2024 the per 1,000 gallons wastewater charge will increase by $0.56. The new rate will be $8.56. 
Lead and Copper Service Line

The revised Lead and Copper Rule now requires all water systems to identify the material used in all customers' service lines and service connections to the interior plumbing of a structure.
