Keep Your Water Flowing This Winter: Tips to Avoid Frozen Pipes As temperatures plummet this winter, the Mishawaka Utilities Water Division is asking all Mishawaka residents and MU Water customers to take simple precautions to protect their homes and our water system from the costly and inconvenient damage caused by frozen water lines. When temperatures drop below freezing for an extended period, water in pipes can freeze, expand, and cause pipes to burst, leading to water loss and expensive repairs. To help prevent this, we recommend letting your water trickle from a faucet during frigid weather. A small, steady stream of water can keep your lines flowing and reduce the risk of freezing. Why Should You Let Your Water Trickle? Moving water is less likely to freeze. It relieves pressure in your pipes, minimizing the risk of bursting. It’s an affordable and easy way to protect your home during extreme cold.

Día de acción por la calidad del aire: ozono y partículas

El Departamento de Manejo Ambiental de Indiana (IDEM) ha declarado que today and tomorrow July 24th and 25th  son Jornadas de acción por la calidad del aire in north central Indiana.

AirNow.gov forecasts that both Ozone and Particulate Matter (PM2.5) will be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, due to hot sunny weather and wildfire smoke moving back into the region.

Ozono

Insalubre para grupos sensibles

Even if the forecast is Orange (unhealthy for sensitive groups), there may be times during the day when air quality is OK for outdoor activities. Ozone is often lower in the morning. Check current air quality to see if it is a good time for you to be active outdoors.

Partículas (PM 2.5)

Insalubre para grupos sensibles

Las partículas finas se depositan profundamente en los pulmones y no se pueden exhalar fácilmente.

Sensitive Groups should take steps to reduce their exposure including shortening the amount of time active outdoors or choosing less strenuous activities.

¡Haz tu parte para ayudar a limpiar el aire tomando acción!

  1. Carpool or use public transportation
  2. Avoid using gas-powered equipment
  3. Turn off engines instead of idling
  4. Do not burn trash or other debris
  5. Use propane gas instead of charcoal when grilling
