Check out the video below on how to winterize your irrigation system backflow preventer.
⬛ Cover exposed pipes to keep them from freezing and/or breaking.
⬛Make sure your irrigation backflow preventer is drained. Below is a video showing how to do this.
⬛Residents should report water outages to 855-h2o-save (855-426-7283) day or night.
⬛Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to leave your water running. You may want to open doors under sinks both in the kitchen and bathrooms.
⬛If you have rain barrels, you have several choices:
➡️ Drain the barrel
➡️ Add a cup of sugar to the water. This will lower the freezing point of the water.
➡️ Add a cup of olive oil to your rain barrel. This will also lower the freezing point of water.
FREEZE WARNING: With intensely cold weather approaching, please winterize your irrigation system backflow preventer. Here's a video with tips.
