Here are a few tips and reminders for the freezing temps moving in:
π₯ππ ππ πππ₯ π§ππ π° π£'π¦:
π₯ People: Check in on your elderly neighbors, family, and anyone you know that may be vulnerable in winter conditions. If you fear for the safety of a loved one or neighbor during these extreme temperatures, please call the Jenks Police Department at 918-299-6311 and request a welfare check. Welfare check eligibility will be explained over the phone by dispatch or a Jenks Police Officer.
πΆ Pets: Bring your furry friends inside! If it’s too cold outside for you, it is for them too. If not able to bring pets Inside, please set them up In the garage with blankets and straw. The anticipated temperatures this week will be so cold that most pets will not survive If left outside.
πͺ΄ Plants: Bring plants inside or use a sheet/blanket to cover plants that must remain outside.
π§ Pipes: Cover outdoor pipes and spigots to prevent freezing and breaks. Also, don’t forget to turn off your sprinkler systems.
Minimize Frozen Pipe Risk: Leave faucets running at a trickle (more than a drip), leave cabinet doors open, and close all doors and windows to keep heat inside.
If you need assistance with turning off your water in an emergency, please contact Public Works at 918-299-9511 during normal business hours. For after-hour emergencies, call the Police Dispatch non-emergency line at 918-299-6311.
