Christmas 2022 FREEZE in College Station & Bryan Texas

Are you ready for the Christmas Freeze of 2022?

While the weather won’t be as bad as the terrible ice storm we had a year or two ago, it is going to be VERY VERY COLD!

The City of College Station has great helpful tips for our upcoming chilly weather!

Before the Freeze

Disconnect and drain garden hoses from outside faucets.
Insulate exposed pipes or faucets in unheated areas with a Styrofoam cover, rags, or paper.
Make sure everyone in your house knows where to find the master water shutoff valve. You can usually find it between the water meter and your home.
Drain your in-ground sprinkler system, including the backflow prevention device, then turn off the water to your system.
Wrap or cover exposed PVC pipes and above-ground backflow preventers.
Set your irrigation controller to OFF and leave it there. If the controller isn’t turned off, it will run.
Pay close attention to exposed backflow prevention devices. They can cause significant leaks – often in the form of geysers – if they freeze.

And PLEASE DO NOT run your sprinkler system during freezing weather. It is violation of city ordinance AND you could easily create an ice hazard.
