Preparing Your Water Service for Winter
October 31, 2025
Re: Preparing your water service for winter.
To all Town of Woodstock Water & Sewer customers,
The winter months will soon be upon us. It is time to think about protecting your Water Service from below freezing temperatures. Check that your basement doors and windows are sealed to prevent cold air from entering. If your property is going to be vacant for the winter, you should have the water shut off at the service valve outside the building. You should have the building pipes drained and winterized to prevent freezing. Water lost due to broken pipes will be estimated and billed to the owner’s water/sewer account. In the event your pipes should freeze and break you should contact the water department as soon as possible.
If your property has a Fire Hydrant located on or near it all efforts should be made to keep the hydrant cleared of snow and any other restrictions to ensure it is accessible in case of an emergency.
Any questions can be directed to the Town of Woodstock Water & Sewer Department.
Thank you for your cooperation.
