With winter on it’s way, it’s important to protect your home. One of the simplest ways to do so is to Disconnect any garden hose that you may have hooked up to your spigot. If your garden hose is still attached, and water is left in the house, this can cause the water to turn to ice and to expand and push back into your home, causing pipes to burst and flooding to ensue. Please take a moment to double-check and make sure you are prepared for winter!
