Prevent Frozen Water Pipes!

To prevent frozen water pipes, the City and Borough of Juneau recommends the following preventative measures:

• Leave a pencil thin trickle of water running in the sink to keep water circulating.
• Ensure crawl space vents are closed.
• Ensure pipes are properly insulated.
• Ensure heat tapes are plugged in and functioning.
• Turn off hose bibs, disconnect any hoses, and ensure they are properly insulated.

In the event that you do experience frozen pipes, contact a plumber or contractor. CBJ does not have the ability to thaw frozen water pipes.
