PSA: Saturday and Sunday will have extremely cold temperatures in our area. Now is the time to prepare your pipes to prevent them from freezing and bursting. Insulate exposed pipes or pipes subject to freezing. On Friday night, start water dripping on exposed faucets that are subject to freeze. Place heat lamps near your deep well, especially near the pressure switch (points) pipe. Make sure your foundation vents are closed. Either drain the water in your campers, or be sure to leave heat on inside them. Leave your pool pumps running through the night. The last I saw, the temperature Saturday will not get out of the 30s, and will plummet Saturday night/Sunday morning. This is the weather that burst pipes. A little preparedness could save you lots of money and days without water. Also remember to bring the pets in. Y’all stay safe and warm out there.
