The time of year for turning on underground sprinklers is here! If your underground sprinklers were not winterized correctly, they may have gotten damaged from the freezing temperatures over the winter. This device, a Pressure Vacuum Breaker, is a device that protects your water system from any contamination that might enter through the sprinkler system.

If your PVB is damaged, there are some rules you need to follow while getting it taken care of:
- Only a grade 6 water operator can repair a PVB
- Only original manufactured replacement parts can be used; this includes shut off valves as well
- Once repaired, it must be tested by a grade 6 water operator
- A copy of the test report must be filed with the Department of Utilities within 30 days of the test.

Please remember, your repair person must be a grade 6 certified water operator.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact the Schuyler Department of Utilities during regular office hours at 402-352-5444.

We have had reports of discolored water in our water system. Utility Crews are flushing the distribution system with fire hydrants to clear the issue. If you are experiencing dirty water, run any faucets interior and exterior of the house to flush your private line. Some may have to run for an extended amount of time to clear the system.

We want to stress this is an aesthetic issue and not a contamination issue. The water is safe to drink. If you continue to have discolored water after running your faucets, feel free to give our office a call.

The Utilites Department strives to supply clean and safe drinking water for our community. We appreciate your patience.

We want to thank everyone for their patience over the last 30 days as we run the chlorination process in our water system. We have decided to extend the chlorination period for an additional 2-3 weeks only to ensure the quality of our water.

We will continue to monitor the results daily, and we’ll keep the public updated as we move forward.

***KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR WATER LINES***

With the freezing temperatures coming, please remember to keep an eye on your water lines and water meter. When water freezes in the lines/meter, the expansion of water freezing causes lines to split and water meters to break.

Here are a few tips you can do to help prevent freezing pipes:
- Let faucets drip. A slow drip helps water keep moving making it harder to freeze.
- Open cabinet doors under sinks so warm air can reach the pipes.
(Both of these are very beneficial on sinks on an exterior wall
- Know the location of you main shutoff valve in the case of an emergency.

It is also good practice to keep the area of your water meter as warm as possible. If you are using a space heater, please be careful and follow the directions of how far to keep it away from flammable materials.
If you have problems, remember that you can always call our office!
Our day time phone number is 402-352-5444. Our after hours number is 402-352-8863.
Keep warm and stay safe!
