Milder weather does not mean any immediately relief for people with frozen water pipes.
There are still about 130 homes and businesses in Owen Sound without water, and the city's Director of Operations says it could be weeks before everyone get their service back.
Ken Becking reminds people who have a normal flow of water to keep one tap running until further notice.
People with frozen pipes can get water at the Lumley Bayshore or The Recreation Centre as well as two businesses, The Water Store on the east side of Owen Sound and the Water Depot on the west, at no charge.
The 'Y' is providing shower facilities.
Becking explains; "It freezes from the top down and it's going to thaw from the top down, so notwithstanding we've got +7 temperature and maybe we've thawed the top six inches of the ground, the bottom six feet are still frozen."
