Austin Water encourages customers to take proactive measures now to safeguard their properties against freezing temperatures. Follow these steps to prevent potential winter-related property damage. Locate Water Shuto : Ensure everyone in your residence is aware of the main water shuto valve's location, typically on your side of the water meter at the meter box. Keep the area around the valve clear of debris and obstacles. Keep Out Cold Air: Close doors and windows tightly, repair any drafts, and seal leaks in crawl spaces and basements. Exposed Pipes and Water Heaters: Insulate pipes in unheated areas, like attics or garages, following manufacturer recommendations for tanked and tankless water heaters. Outside Faucets: Turn o outside faucets, remove hoses, and wrap faucets with towels or a Styrofoam insulator. Don't forget to turn o and drain automatic sprinkler systems.
