Temperatures are dropping.  Here are a few pointers to help protect your pipes.

• check sprinkler systems.  make sure they are turned off and drained.
• Locate your main water shut-off and shut it off for the winter.
• Remove exterior hoses.
• Protect any pipes exposed to the cold. wrap them with insulation.

When Temperatures stay below freezing:

• Open cabinet doors to pipes that are on exterior walls to let in warmer air.
• Keep water running trough the pipes, even a small trickle.

If your pipes do freeze:

• Shut off the water immediately
• Thaw pipes with warm air.
• One pipes are thawed be careful and slowly turn water back on checking joints for any cracks or leaks.

Please take the time to protect your pipes this winter.
