Due to the winter storm, we advise residents to know how to properly shut off their water to keep their homes safe in the event of a burst pipe during freezing temperatures.
– Avoid burst pipes by dripping your pipes and opening cabinets under your sinks.
– Locate your home’s water shut-off valve before it becomes an emergency. Valves can typically be found in the front yard of your property. Look for an oval steel plate to locate it.
– Shut off your water if a pipe bursts! Remove the steel plate that covers the shut-off valve and turn it clockwise until closed with a wrench or a set of pliers.
– Please call a professional plumber before restoring service.
