City of Kenton Urges Residents to Prepare for Cold Weather, Keep Pets and Property Safe

City of Kenton officials reminded residents to keep pets and property safe as the temperatures drop this week.

Highs will be in the low to mid 20’s this week, and low temperatures will plummet to single digits by near the end of the week.

City officials said you should check on your neighbors and lend a hand to those who may need assistance with winter preparations.

You should bring pets indoors to ensure they have a warm, comfortable place inside.

Some cold weather preparations include insulating your water pipes.

Use insulation sleeves or heat tape to prevent freezing.

It is also a good idea to let faucets drip, because a slow drip can help prevent pipes from freezing.

You should also ensure any drafts near pipes are sealed to keep cold air out.
