TO PREVENT HAZARDS & DAMAGE:
- Turn interior faucets on to a slow drip.
- Turn off your irrigation system.
- Backflow prevention devices are usually in insulated enclosures, but it is a good idea to add another layer of insulation under these enclosures to help prevent them from freezing during an extended period of low temperatures.
- Know where your water shut off valve is located and how to shut off your water should it become necessary due to a burst frozen pipe.
- Wrap/insulate exterior water faucets.
- Be sure you have signed up for free Nixle emergency alerts; send a text message from your phone with the keyword “RCOEM” to the number 888777
- Follow Heath SCAN for any necessary alerts specific to Heath
- Learn more about preparing for Winter Weather
- Register a loved one who is vulnerable during emergency situations for a Wellness Check by the Heath Department of Public Safety
