Psst Canada does have this problem, now thats cold!.. lol

All Heat-Line products are self-regulating, a far superior technology that is safer, more efficient, and much less costly to operate. For the first time, unlike other heating cable systems, Heat-Line self-regulating products allow the use of thermal pipe insulation. Insulation dramatically reduces the amount of energy required. Prior to Heat-Line and self-regulating heating cable technology, heat traced water pipe would never have been insulated because of the risk of over-heating and causing a fire. Self-regulating heating cables automatically adjust heat output so there is never any worry about under heating or overheating. Heat is applied only where and when it is needed, further reducing energy costs.

Can Fayette County not wait for the temps to warm up and for the sun to melt the water in the fountain? It's free - all it costs is a bit of patience.

how bad it would have been if the planet wasn't in the grips of global warming!

I think that it was silly to keep this fountain going in the wintertime, especially when the temperatures have come with more than a couple of days of warning. If it is important to Fayette County to have this continually pumping, then they should be adding more than a little of heat trace to its lines.
