Now is the Time to Prepare for Upcoming Winter Weather Conditions

Posted by zachary on January 15, 2025

Extreme cold air and a potential winter mix are forecasted to begin Sunday and continue into next week. Now is the time to prepare for winter weather. Take the following precautions:

• Wrap exposed pipes and faucets.
• Detach hoses and cover spigots.
• Turn off sprinkler systems.

For businesses, ensure backflow preventers are wrapped, and cover all exposed piping, including valves, as thoroughly as possible. Please note that maintaining and protecting these systems is the responsibility of the business owner, not the City of Zachary.

As a precaution, Waste Depot, the City's Bulk Waste Operator, will service both Monday and Tuesday routes by picking up bulky waste only on Monday. If your scheduled pickup day is Tuesday, please place your bulky waste items out on Sunday night for collection.

The City is actively monitoring the weather and implementing measures across the area to prepare for the anticipated wintry mix.
