Freeze Warning Tips for Residents:
When temperatures are forecast to be below 32 ° F, water pipes can freeze, burst, and cause a great deal of damage. Help protect your apartment home by taking these steps during a freeze:
1) Let your faucets drip! Run both hot and cold water in a very fine stream in each of your apartment’s faucets: kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, bathtubs, showers, etc.
2) Open your cupboards! Leave the cabinet doors under all sinks open so that the pipes will be ventilated with warm air. Leaving the bathroom and kitchen doors open helps too.
3) Heat your home! If you leave for the day (or an extended period) do not turn the heat completely off. Turn it on, and set it to the lowest setting you wish (60 ° is recommended).
4) Be alert! If you see anything unusual - for example, if your water does not come on, or if you see water leaking anywhere in or around your apartment building, notify the leasing office and the maintenance team immediately!
If you are out of town or plan to be out of town please inform the office.
