Our area is facing two rounds of freezing weather in the next week. On Sunday, January 5th, rain and gusty winds may be followed by a flash freeze overnight, as temps fall from the 50s down to the 20s. Then mid to late next week, bitter cold temperatures are possible. Take steps now to ensure you're prepared when cold weather hits. Some tips & contact numbers are attached to help you protect your water pipes and respond in case of a burst pipe. In addition, MLGW has also sent a News Release to ensure customers they are taking steps to prepare - https://www.mlgw.com/news/news_1225prep.
