CRU “Pristina”: Water pipes may rise because of low temperatures

The Regional Water Company “Prishtina” has urged citizens to be careful during low temperatures because pipelines and irrigations can rise within hours.

This company has instructed citizens on how to act.

How to act:

Find the main water-locking wave, for example, in the residential block (the main water station ) or in private homes. Tell all family members how to close it in case of a tube that could explode or similar emergencies. In collective settlements, residents need to know the location of the watertight wells and the break wave, as well as the breaking wave of the internal hydrant network if you have an explosion of the hydrant tube.

We like that on the floors of the ground where the supply vertical is more exposed in the cold air and the flow possibilities are potential, so please take precautions and isolate yourself from coming up. We prefer consumers to make isolation in wells where they have the water meter not to come to freezing. The tubes that are most likely to be lifted are those who are on a well-made wall, garages, cellars and those placed hammers under the surface of the earth. Add isolation to outer walls wherever possible, and seal up (screw) tubes with isolation in garages and cellars, as well as make insulated underwaters with materials that prevent cold air.
