water tap2Frozen water pipes are also an issue in South River. 

Municipal officials there say they have a couple of issues. First is the water quantity.

They say the additional water needed to resolve the frozen pipe problem is limiting the amount of water available for use.  As a result they’re calling for people to limit their water consumption.  The other issue is the number of homes with frozen water has surpassed the resources to restore water to those properties.

The municipality says residents aren’t permitted to let their water run without municipal authority. Clerk Susan Arnold says 50 properties in South River are currently impacted by frozen pipes.

People are asked to report any frozen water issues to the South River Municipal Office.

If you have frozen water you can fill any containers at the South River-Machar Fire Department from 8 am to 4 pm and on weekends from noon to 2.
