Happy First Day of Winter! MPWC wants to make sure you keep your pipes and meter warm to avoid damages from any increase in freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can freeze the pipes inside of your home. If you suddenly have no water but do not have any outstanding balances, check your property for frozen pipes. Also, do you know about our Senior/Disability Discount? If you have not filled out an application, we recommend returning the form prior to your first quarter billing, as it cannot be applied retroactively to accounts. Applicant must be receiving a discount with their municipality and income may not exceed $10,000, not including social security.
