Freezing temperatures can test our municipal water systems as well as the pipes inside our homes. Water Commissioner Alex Margevicius explains how the Cleveland Division of Water keeps 1.4 million people supplied with safe drinking water when temperatures plunge and aging water mains face their toughest days of the year.
From Cleveland's offshore water intakes to your homes and businesses, we trace the journey clean water makes and share some simple measures you can take to prevent frozen water lines and damage.
Here at the Sewer District, we often talk about the urban water cycle as it pertains to wastewater treatment: from residential use to our treatment plants and back to Lake Erie. Our conversation with Alex continues the water's route back in from the Lake and to our homes.
