ARCTIC OUTBREAK - PREVENT COSTLY PIPE REPAIRS - Monday, January 31, 2011
An Arctic Outbreak of extremely cold air will impact every portion of our state beginning today and lasting through the middle of the week. Please review the following tips to prevent your home from costly repairs due to frozen pipes.

To Prevent Pipes from Freezing:
- Disconnect all outdoor hoses, which allow water to drain from the connected pipes. When a hose is attached, one overnight freeze can cause the faucet or the pipes to crack.
- Wrapping or covering outside faucets and disconnecting water hoses
- Wrapping pipes exposed to outside temperatures
- Cover soffits and air vents leading from outside the house to the attic
- Keeping cabinet doors below kitchen and bathroom sinks open to allow warm air from the house to circulate around pipes located under the sinks
- Keeping house temperature above 68 degrees
- Turn off the main water valve and drain water from household pipes if house will be unoccupied for the duration of the forecasted freeze. House main valve locations vary, but most are located inside the house by the furnace or laundry area by the garage.

Letting the Water Run:
Letting a faucet drip during extreme cold weather can prevent a pipe from bursting. It's not that a small flow of water prevents freezing; this helps, but water can freeze even with a slow flow.

Rather, opening a faucet will provide relief from the excessive pressure that builds between the faucet and the ice blockage when freezing occurs. If there is no excessive water pressure, there is no burst pipe, even if the water inside the pipe freezes.

A dripping faucet wastes some water, so only pipes vulnerable to freezing (ones that run through an unheated or unprotected space) should be left with the water flowing. The drip can be very slight. Even the slowest drip at normal pressure will provide
