When temperatures dip to extreme levels, many suggest letting your faucets drip. The water slowly flowing through the pipes helps them not freeze, and a slightly higher water bill will cost you a lot less than new plumbing. Now, for residents of Kingman, the extra water won’t cost anything. “We always drip when the temperatures get around freezing. We don’t want to risk broken pipes and risk flooding when they do thaw out, just have pipes burst that’d be a mess,” said Kingman resident Jake Malec. Malec has lived in Kingman for two years. He was shocked when he heard what the city is doing to help keep him and his family safe.
