## Water meter care
It is your responsibility to maintain a dry, warm environment around your water meters to prevent freezing in the winter months. All replacement costs of damaged meters from freezing are the sole responsibility of the homeowner. If you are planning an extended leave in the winter months, please consider having your water lines professionally drained.
## Help prevent sewer blockages
Wet wipes do not break down like toilet paper and can cause blockages in the wastewater collection system. Even wipes labelled "flushable" can become tangled in pumps and equipment, resulting in increased maintenance and repair costs.
Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Wet wipes and other household products should be placed in the garbage.
