The U. S. Census Bureau would like to remind you that April 1, 2010 is Census Day - Don't forget to complete and return your Census Questionnaire to the U. S. Census Bureau.
Every winter, many homes and businesses face the expense and inconvenience of frozen water pipes - make sure you are not one of them by taking a few simple precautions.
1. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses.
2. Close vents leading under your house to keep cold air from reaching exposed pipes.
3. Insulate pipes or faucets in unheated areas.
4. Seal off access doors, air vents and cracks.
5. During extremely cold weather, open cabinet doors to allow warm air to reach the pipes under your sinks.
6. Never remove the lid from your water meter box. The meter box and lid keep your meter insulated from colder temperatures.
7. Do you have a backflow device on your commercial business? This device must also be protected from cold temperaures. Backflow devices that are housed in an outdoor enclosure should be protected especially. If you have a heating element for your device, make sure it is in good working condition. And, make sure that the enclosure protecting your backflow device is seaed tightly. Cold air through gaps or cracks in the enclosure can cause your device to freeze.
IMPROVED WATER PRESSURE
In an effort to continue providing an adequate water supply to our customers, the District has completed phase one of a water line transmission project which will better serve our present and future customers. Many of you will notice improved water pressures with the addition of a new water storage tank located adjacent to Lynnwood Way. The newly constructed tank will improve deficiencies previously existing in the system relative to low water pressure. If you are experiencing water pressure that is excessive, you might want to consider adjusting the pressure reducing valve (PRV) installed on your system. If you do not currently have a PRV, most plumbing contractors are capable of installing one for you.
We are pleased to have completed the project in a timely manner and were successful in developing our system to provide adequate water at present and in support of future development.
Your home and/or business should be equipped with a Pressure Reducer Valve. To learn more about Pressure Reducer Valves, click here.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2009
RATE ADJUSTMENT ON FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
BEGINNING JANUARY 2009, The District will implement a new revised structure for fire sprinkler systems based upon meter size rather than the number of sprinkler heads in the building. Meter size is a more accurate measure of the demand for water from a fire sprinkler system than the number of sprinkler heads. The District has determined that charges for fire sprinkler systems directly related to the amount of water required for operation should be used to recover its costs of providing water for fire sprinkler systems.
The District will experience less than a 1% increase in the total revenue it receives from the revised fire sprinkler system charges; however, an individual customer may notice a difference greater or less than this amount in its individual bill depending upon the number of sprinkler heads which the customer's charge is currently based.

CROSS CONNECTION TESTING PROGRAM
Cross connection is the undesirable reversal of water from its intended direction in any plumbing or pipeline system. A backflow prevention device that is properly installed, tested and maintained can reliably prevent the backflow of water of an unknown quality from flowing back into the community’s water system.
The State of Tennessee requires a backflow device to be installed and tested annually for all commercial buildings with domestic, fire and/or irrigation systems and also on irrrigation systems for residential homes.
A uniformed member of our staff will test your domestic and/or irrigation backflow device(s) each year. Mallory Valley has contracted with Fire Sprinkler, LLC to complete testing of commercial fire protection backflow devices. Whether commercial or residential, the cost per device and visit is $40.00. Your device(s) will be tested annually and you will receive a bill from Mallory Valley.
If your device fails testing, Mallory Valley may repair your backflow device(s) and perform a re-test. We offer the repair service at the cost of parts/materials plus $40 per hour for labor. We offer this service to help our customers and to maintain compliance with the State of Tennessee.
For more information on cross connection, please click here: Backflow Prevention.
Our maintenance staff is available for emergencies 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. You can reach a member of our maintenance staff by calling us at 615-628-0237 and leaving a voicemail. Your call will be returned within 30 minutes.
