Prepare Lawn Irrigation Systems for Winter to Avoid Frozen Pipes
EVANSVILLE, IND. – Homeowners with lawn sprinkler and irrigation systems connected to the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility water distribution system are advised to winterize their backflow preventers before the area receives a hard freeze. The backflow device is typically located outside the home, above ground, and near the water meter. It protects the city’s water supply by preventing water and potential contaminates from flowing backward into the water distribution system.
The EWSU recommends hiring a plumbing professional to winterize your irrigation system. If that is not possible, there are a few easy steps homeowners should take to prevent the backflow device from freezing. The best way to winterize the backflow preventer is to bleed out all of the water, disconnect the device, and store it in a warm place for the winter.
If you are unable to disconnect the backflow preventer, and after the water has been removed, it is recommended that you cover the device with a thick blanket, towels, or similar material. Insulation and heat tape may be used, but alone they do not provide sufficient protection from extreme cold during winter months. Allowing the backflow preventer and outdoor water pipes to freeze is a costly mistake.
Remember, state and local regulations require homeowners to have the backflow preventer tested by a certified plumbing professional every year. Testers are required to report test results to EWSU.

Eagles end 2021 with a tie at Lindenwood​​​​​​​
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer ended the 2021 season with a double-overtime tie, 1-1, at Lindenwood University Sunday afternoon in St. Louis, Missouri. The Eagles conclude the 2021 season 5-9-2 overall and 4-7-2 in the GLVC, while the Lions are to 6-6-3, 6-5-3 GLVC, after today’s action.
The Eagles and the Lions were scoreless through halftime and the first five minutes of the second half before Lindenwood scored at 50:31 to take a 1-0 lead. The Lions held onto the lead until the final minutes when the Eagles struck for their goal.
USI junior midfielder Ryan Nevins (St. Peters, Missouri) evened the match 1-1 when he headed in his third goal of the season. Nevins was assisted on his tally at 88:12 by sophomore midfielder Brian Winkler (Philpot, Kentucky) and sophomore defender Scott Ross (St. Louis, Missouri).
In overtime, USI carried the momentum into both overtimes, but its three shots were not able to find the back of the Lindenwood net. The Eagles also three corners in the 20 minutes of extra time.
Between the posts, senior goalkeeper Justin Faas (Carmel, Indiana) earned the tie by making five saves and facing 17 total shots in 110 minutes of action. Faas concludes his career at USI with a 33-19-7 mark in 64 matches (2017-2021).
Attorney General Todd Rokita is calling on Congress to reject burdensome legislation that would increase fees on energy producers and hit American consumers, including those in Indiana, with price hikes on heating bills.
“Hoosiers are facing enough economic hardships as we work to put the pandemic behind us,†Attorney General Rokita said. “Now is the worst possible time for Congress to propose adding to our financial burdens. We deserve better leadership on Capitol Hill, and I’ll keep fighting to protect Hoosiers from those liberal tax-and-spenders.â€
In a letter sent this month, he and 18 other attorneys general advised leaders of two U.S. Senate committees to oppose legislation that would charge oil and natural gas producers $1,500 to $1,800 per ton of methane emissions above certain thresholds.
“We would expect Congress to be focused on affordable energy solutions,†states the West Virginia-led letter. “Yet Congress is instead considering imposing additional fees on the oil and gas industry.â€
In the Senate, the Methane Emissions Reduction Act proposes to charge oil and gas producers $1,800 per ton of methane emissions beginning in 2023. A similar provision in the House’s version of the Build Back Better Act proposes a $1,500 “fee†— really, a tax — for each ton of methane emissions.
The attorneys general cite data from industry experts showing that the more costly proposal could impose a cost of $14.4 billion and affect as many as 155,000 jobs.
Instead of imposing additional fees on oil and gas producers, the attorneys general call on the Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works and Committee on Energy and Natural Resources to focus on affordable energy solutions.
The coalition’s letter argues that the Senate and House proposals could inspire more emissions-focused taxes, such as measures that would involve federal regulators extending the tax to other sectors and potentially a broader carbon tax.
For instance, the attorneys general specifically note that the Environmental Protection Agency could wrongly extend the proposed tax to agricultural operations, landfills and coal mining, all of which produce methane as well.
