Have you done all you should to prepare your home for the winter? Drain all exterior hoses and store them for the winter. Outside faucets should be either freeze-proof or be supplied with a valve somewhere inside the house that allow you to shut off the water to the faucet for the winter. Failure to do this may cause the pipe to freeze and possibly burst when the winter comes. Remember to store your tools and anything usually left in the summer or during the warmer seasons.
