There may be times when the Water District needs to shut off water
service in your area due to an emergency. In those situations, it's
your responsibility to know the water systems in your home and
take necessary precautions.
 |
Don't be
caught off guard—know what to expect from your home water
systems in case water is shut down in an emergency.
|
Some specialized water systems—including
those with automatic timers—may or may not come back on when
water service is restored. Faucets in
use will flow once the water comes back on, so you'll want to turn
those off to prevent overflows.
Other specialized systems to
check include:
- Automatic ice makers
- Water softeners
- Swamp coolers
- Automated watering systems
for animals
- Fountains with automatic
fill features
- Some irrigation systems
Don't be taken by surprise!
To understand how a water shutdown may affect your home systems,
take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with product manuals,
follow the manufacturer's recommendations and call the manufacturer
if you have product-related questions.
