Prevent freeze damage at your property and in your neighborhood this winter. Consider shutting your water shut off while you're away.
If you plan to leave your home on vacation for an extended period of time this winter, you might want to consider shutting the water off (at your meter) in case the heat goes out while you’re away. This simple act will minimize the amount of water damage to your home in the event of a burst pipe, by reducing the amount of water allowed to run through your home.
Additionally, if you are aware of any vacant properties in your neighborhood please report such properties to the Code Enforcement Department, so we can pro-actively monitor these properties for maintenance concerns.
With questions or concerns or to report a vacant property in your neighborhood please contact Ben Pierson in Code Enforcement by email at bpierson@ci.apple-valley.mn.us; or by phone at 952.953.2571.
