MARQUETTE, MI-- More communities have been added to the let-water-run list across the U.P.
Frigid temperatures are forcing residents to run a pencil-width stream of water in a sink in their homes so their pipes don’t freeze.
On the let-run list are:
Ely, Tilden, and Forsyth Townships; Palmer, Iron River, Newberry, L’Anse, Caspian, Lake Linden; Huron Town and Number 2 Location in Portage Township; residents on the Rock water system in Maple Ridge Township; and the City of Crystal Falls. Homes that use a septic system in Crystal Falls are asked to use an outside hose to run water.
