Prepare Those Pipes for Cold Weather

Temperatures dropping below freezing could cause problems in your home, including water damage from frozen and burst pipes. 

 

Cold weather arrived last week, so a spokesperson with Illinois American Water is offering some tips to prepare your pipes for the winter. Karen Cotton says it’s best to take precautions now, before the worst of the cold weather happens.

 

 

Cotton says also to make sure everyone at home knows where the main water shut-off valve is. Make sure sprinkler and irrigation systems attached to the home are shut-off and detach your garden hose from the outside spigot. More tips on guarding against winter water pipe damage are available at www.illinoisamwater.com.
