- Locate and operate your main water shutoff valve. If a pipe breaks inside your home, this valve allows you to turn off the water.
- Allow kitchen and/or bathroom faucets to drip to keep water moving (recommend doing this only when you're home).
- If a pipe breaks inside your home, please contact a licensed plumber. You can find a plumber at wsscwater.com/findplumber.
- The temperature where interior pipes are located should be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Open cabinet doors to expose pipes to your home's warmth.
