The weather forecast shows some cold lows tonight, especially in Minden/Gardnerville.
Be sure to disconnect hoses from faucets since they can trap water in the faucet head, causing freeze damage.
If you have a green insulating bag on your backflow preventer, it should stay warm enough to around 18-20 degrees. If you donāt, you might want to either buy one and install it tonight or shut off and drain your stop and waste and backflow preventer.
Itās way too early to shut off your irrigation system for the season, but you can turn the day frequency back to about every 4-5 days.
