Be Careful! Water Pipes Can Freeze during the Winter

Be Careful! 

Water Pipes Can Freeze during the Winter 

When the temperature outside drops (to around –4 degrees), water in the water pipes can freeze. If they freeze, the water can no longer come out. Additionally, the water pipes may burst. 

Wrap a towel around water pipes outside your house. This will prevent the temperature of the water pipes from dropping too low. Also, leave a little water running from the taps before going to bed. This can also prevent water from freezing.
