JEA says frozen pipes at homes are likely to blame and expects water to flow again as the day warms up.

Homeowners who suspect a burst pipe should shut off their main water valve and call a plumber.

With more cold and windy weather expected through Monday, JEA is urging everyone to keep up with energy conservation and safety tips, especially in the mornings when electricity use spikes.
