Our utility crews monitor conditions and respond to repairs as safely and efficiently as possible. As winter weather settles in, utility teams often face heightened challenges, including water main breaks and disruptions to critical systems. Periods of cold temperatures and rapid weather shifts can increase the number of repair calls across the region.
