City of Clare recently issued the following announcement.
THE CITY OF CLARE IS NOW ON A 'LET RUN' WATER STATUS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WINTER DUE TO EXCESSIVELY DEEP FROST LEVELS & EXTREME COLD.
'LET RUN' CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. The City of Clare is NOT responsible for thawing frozen water lines!
2. Water is to be run from the time the consumer is informed by Clare DPW until the City notifies you to stop the 'let run'. The water is to be run 24 hours a day, a stream the size of a pencil lead or slightly larger (between 1/8 and 1/4").
3. The Customer is liable to pay all charges relating to the thawing of water lines if water freezes after being placed on the 'let run' order.
4. Your water bill (during this let run period) will be averaged on your past consumption. Warning: Do not shut the water off until directed to do so by the City of Clare. Be especially careful in the springtime - with the sun out daily, it tends to drive the frost down deeper, not out as many people believe!
5. If you have questions about this 'let run' order, please call the Utility Billing department at 989-424-4071.
DO NOT SHUT YOUR WATER OFF UNTIL NOTIFIED TO DO SO BY THE CITY OF CLARE!
