During our last hard freeze in 2021 several homes in The Enclave experienced frozen water pipes and some pipes burst causing water damage. So, from lessons learned, be sure you have the pipes covered or insulated in the attic and eave where the water main pipe enters your home. And some of you may choose to turn off the water at the water meter and drain your house. Don’t forget to draw water for your use during the freeze period, including water to flush your toilet.
For additional information about the freezing temperatures, below are links to a few suggestions and information from local television news and public officials.
