The city would like to extend their greatest appreciation to all the residents of the City of Grand Forks for their cooperation and patience during the construction of this project.

Preparing your crawl space for winter As we look toward the winter months, remember that exposed water lines can freeze. Thawing a frozen water service can be quite costly and very inconvenient. To help prevent this ensure that your crawl space is draft-free and protected from the elements. Being proactive by taking steps to prevent your water lines from freezing will make for a more enjoyable season.
