City issues running water notice

Posted

Last week, the city of Rhinelander issued a water let-run order beginning Jan. 27 for residents in areas with deep frost issues to prevent utility lines from freezing.

Utility customers can determine if they’re authorized to run water by looking up their address at rhinelanderwi.us or city hall, 135 S. Stevens St. Authorized customers will have their bills adjusted.

According to the city, residents should run cold water from only one fixture per property in a stream the diameter of a pencil lead, which can be checked by filling a 12-ounce container in approximately one minute.

Special cases of water-only customers or other circumstances requiring greater flow rates can be approved.

The running water list will be periodically amended with new locations when frost conditions require additions of other approved customers.

The utility department will provide further instructions with an end date as frost levels subside.

For more information, contact the water department at 715-362-2728.
