No matter what season we are in, it is a good idea to turn your water off if you will be absent from your cabin for more than a few days.

Basic steps for a vacant cabin:

1. Turn off the main shut-off valve. (Remember to turn off electricity or gas to water heater.)
2. Shut off and drain your water system. Open indoor and outdoor faucets to drain pipes.
3. Flush toilet once to drain the tank but not the bowl.
4. Do not leave water running.
