♥ Freezing Pipes!!!
Problem: Due to the long stretch of cold weather this winter, the frost line has gone deeper in the ground and closer to our water mains. Consequently, as result of the the deep frost, the Village is experiencing numerous problems with freezing water mains, laterals and service lines. Service lines and laterals from the main to the house usually freeze before the water main freezes.
If you experience very low water pressure or no water, open the faucet and leave it open. Next, contact your neighbors in the area and find out if they have water, then contact Jeff Iveson, the Water Commissioner, at 895-8926 immediately to investigate. Residents are responsible for maintaining the service line from their shut off valve to their home.
Solution: Since running water is less likely to freeze, residents are urged to keep one faucet running at a very slow trickle to help prevent the water pipe from the main to their house from freezing. It will also help prevent bursting pipes if the pipe does freeze by allowing some pressure relief from the expanding ice.
Think Spring!

Email Notification System
The Village of Delanson has initiated a new Email Notification system whereby residents can be notified by email immediately of important information or any emergency situation that has developed in the Village. Examples would be water main breaks, water main repairs, hydrant flushing, sudden changes in Village services such as garbage pickup or snow plowing, flooding, road closings, damaged roads etc.. Emails will not be sent for normal news items, notices or scheduled events.
In addition, updates will be emailed to keep residents informed of the ongoing circumstances as new information is received by the Village until the event or emergency is over.
There is no cost for this service. Simply fill in your email address in the box on the lower left sidebar of this page and click the SUBMIT button. You will receive an email asking you to confirm your decision to receive these bulletins. Once we receive your confirmation, you will be added to our mailing list to receive theses notices. OR, you can send an email to webmaster@delanson.net and ask to be added to the email notification list. That’s it! Please do not send an email to the village clerk as this will not add your name to the notification list.
Your privacy is important to us. Your email address will not be shared, sold or used in any other capacity and you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link on any email you receive or by contacting the web guy at webmaster@delanson.net.
We hope this new feature will not only help keep our residents well informed but safer during emergency situations.
