Freezing Temperatures

Freezing temperatures are expected over the coming days. To limit issues that may arise because of the inclement weather, your Water District requests that customers do the following:

  1. Turn off, isolate, and drain your irrigation system and backflow prevention device.
  2. Unhook any outdoor water hoses attached to your faucets.
  3. Wrap outdoor pipes and faucets with foam, rags, or other insulating material. To keep the insulation in place, secure it with string, wire, or tape.
  4. Install insulation or covers over outside water faucets.
  5. Open cabinet doors under your sinks to provide warm air circulation.
  6. Circulate water in your home by allowing at least on sink to drip.
  7. Keep the temperature of your home above 55 degrees.

If a leak is detected inside your home, shut off the water to the house immediately to prevent further damage.
