The City of Conroe shared the following release on Thursday, February 18 at 2:30 p.m. As we prepare for another cold night we would like to remind Citizens to take precautions and be prepared. One thing Citizens can do to help prevent your pipes from freezing and or bursting is to allow your faucets to drip during prolonged freezing events lasting longer than 6 hours. When turning on the faucet the ideal drip should be 5 but no more than 10 droplets per minute. Faucets that should be focused on are faucets that typically feed the exterior walls of the home or an area of the home that may be unheated. Another tip and probably the most important is to not forget to shut these off immediately after the freeze has past. This allows the water system to return to its normal operations and helps prevent any loss of water that isn’t warranted.
