Hi. As you know, we will be experiencing hard freeze conditions the next few nights. Ideal water pipe bursting conditions. Hopefully you have started taking precautions to protect your house. Here are a few tips to help prevent any damage to your water lines.
-cover/insulate all outside exposed pipes
-once temperatures drop below freezing run a pencil lead sized stream of hot and cold water until freezing temperatures rise.
-to help conserve water you can run your faucets every three hours for a minute or so and then turn your water back off and repeat until freezing temperatures rise.
(The flow of water will prevent your water system from freezing)
-also, if you have a pool turn on circulation pump until freezing temperatures rise.
Hopefully this helps, but if your water lines do burst don’t hesitate to call/text.
