❄️ WINTER WEATHER ALERT – PROTECT YOUR WATER METERS & PIPES! ❄️

With the recent cold temperatures and more freezing weather expected, the Borough of Catasauqua reminds residents that homeowners are responsible for protecting their water meters and water pipes from freezing.

📌 Per Catasauqua Borough Ordinance § 265-13(E):
