Thaw plumbing lines safely with a hair dryer or heat lamp. Once the pipe has thawed, make sure to leave a little water running so the pipe doesn’t freeze again.
Do not open the water meter box near the curb. It could increase the chance of freezing water at the meter.
Close your main water shut-off valve to your house. Most shut-off valves are located where the water line enters the house, either at the front of your house where you connect your hose, or basement near the hot water heater, or inside the garage.
Turn off the water heater. Locate the dedicated shut-off valve on the cold water inlet.
Repairing broken pipes on the customer’s side of the meter is the customer’s responsibility. Contact a plumber for repair work.
Anyone observing water running from streets or sidewalks is encouraged to report the leak to the Water District’s 24-hour Emergency Line at 503-721-2261.
In Portland, water mains tend to break during the colder weather. Cold water can cause pipes to become brittle. Adding cold air temperatures can cause the ground above a pipe to freeze and thaw, increasing stress on a pipe. The age of a pipe, soil conditions, pipe corrosion, and ground movement can also cause a main to weaken and break over time.
During a main break, nearby customers may notice a reduction in water pressure or have their water temporarily shut off while repairs are made. Customers may also experience discolored water from sediment that can get stirred up during a main break. Avoid using hot water or running the washing machine or dishwasher while you experience discolored water.
