From the City of Hornell,
With extremely cold temperatures expected, residents are encouraged to take precautions to prevent frozen pipes.
• Let faucets drip slightly to keep water moving
• Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
• Keep your home thermostat set to at least 55°, even if you are away
• Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses and shut off exterior water if possible
• Know where your main water shut-off valve is located in case of emergency
Taking a few simple steps now can help prevent costly damage later. Stay safe and stay warm!
