PREVENT FROZEN PIPES
Set home thermostats above 55 degrees during cold weather.
Drip cold water in the farthest faucet from your main valve. Moving water keeps pipes from freezing.
Find shut off valves for emergencies.
Insulate pipes in unheated areas.
Open cupboards and vanities to warm pipes.
Close inside valves that control the water supply.
Open the outside spigots to allow to drain water out.
Keep outside valves open so water remaining in the pipe can expand without causing a break.
When freezing weather is coming, turn off water to outside spigots and drain all water from the line.
