TIGERTON, Wis. (WBAY) — Due to frigid temperatures, the Village of Tigerton issued a “run water” order on Wednesday.

This order is mandatory for village residents and is running until further notice.

Villagers are instructed to:

  1. Run water about 1/4 inch at the faucet head, you should be able to fill one gallon in 7-8 minutes.
  2. Run COLD water from ONE sink that is not used as often to prevent it from accidentally being turned off. (example: utility sink)
  3. If the temperatures rise, continue to run until you are notified not to. Warmer weather pushes frost down.

The village said residents will get a discount on their Water/Sewer bill. Also, for those who don’t comply, if they experience a freeze up, the village says charges will be incurred.

Tigerton is a community located in Shawano County.
