water

Summer is here and it is getting hot, and many Northlanders are heading to the beach. We don't have the ocean but we do have the biggest fresh water lake in the world and with it comes many dangers including Riptides or Rip Currents.

Last summer for my birthday one of my present was what some consider a gag gift, but I loved it..."The Pocket Hose" . Well, due to me not paying attention, my first pocket hose is no more.

Water is one of those things we take for granted, we just turn on the faucet and let it fly, not much to think about. Unless the hot water is all used up, or the water is a weird color, then you pay attention. :) But do you ever think how much water you actually use?

When it is so bitterly cold like we are experiencing right now, many of us are eager to get back to the warmth and safety of our homes, but our homes take a beating too when it gets this cold.

Living in the land of 10,000 lakes plus, we are accustom to seeing some beautiful and sometimes strange happenings on the water, but this is amazing!

If you’re in the water business, it’s time to break out the champagne and celebrate.

The Twin Ports is experiencing its first sustained subzero temperatures in more than a few years, and with the cold weather warnings and school closings have followed. While these conditions are inconvenient and even potentially dangerous, a little fun can be found in it all.

The City of Duluth has announced that it will commence work on a fire hydrant today (Monday, November 19) at 9:00 am through 6:00 pm that could impact water pressure in areas around Duluth.

The City of Duluth has issued a water conservation notice for the Kenwood and Woodland neighborhoods. Crews are currently working to repair a water main break which required shutting off the Arlington pump station, the main feeder into these areas. Some residents and businesses are experiencing a water outage due to this shut off. The repair time for the water main break is unknown.

Although space enthusiasts focusing on the newly-landed Curiosity Rover on Mars, there is still cool stuff going on in space right above our own planet.

Due to the increase in drownings and water rescues in Lake Superior and the other Great Lakes, the Duluth Fire Department is hosting a free Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project’s 'Water Safety Surf Rescue' class tomorrow July 21st starting at 9:30am at the Park Point Beach House...

As many native Twin Ports residents know, wait 5 minutes and the weather will change. But this Spring has been a whopper, from the flood to very warm temperatures, we need some relief.
