Remember to prepare for the winter months by winterizing your water pipes and fixtures:
💧 Disconnect garden hoses: Detach hoses from all outdoor faucets and drain them completely before storing them.
💧 Drain outdoor water lines: Drain spigots and blow-out irrigation systems.
💧 Insulate exposed pipes: Wrap any exposed pipes in unheated areas, such as basements, crawl spaces, and garages, with foam insulation.
💧 Locate the main shut-off valve: Know where the main water shut-off valve is located in case of a burst pipe emergency.
💧 Travel preparation: It is advisable for residents who travel during the winter to shut off their main water supply before they leave.
