🥶 Prevent Frozen Pipes 🥶
When temperatures drop below freezing, pipes can freeze fast, especially around 20°F. Pipes in attics or basements, or those without proper insulation, are most at risk. The longer the cold sticks around, the higher the chance of damage.
Protect your home by insulating exposed pipes, letting a faucet drip during extreme cold, and keeping your heat on even when you are away. A temperature between 55 and 68 degrees is generally recommended.

Our Source Water
The Kennebec Water District has used China Lake as its source of supply since 1905. China lake, covering an area of 6.1 square miles and a maximum depth of 85 feet, holds about 31.7 billion gallons of fresh water at any given time and provides more than enough capacity year around. The intake is in the West Basin of the lake which is largely undeveloped due to the Kennebec Water District’s management of these lands for over 100 years. Click below to find out more.
