How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Avon: what fails while nobody is home
Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Avon reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. More than half of Avon's households rent, yet a third of its homes are second homes.
The housing, by age
In Avon, 51.4 percent of the homes predate 1990 and the median one was built in 1990; a building's age decides where its water lines run and how much of them sits outside the heat. Over a third of homes sit in buildings of twenty or more units, so a year-round tenant can live directly below a unit whose owner has not visited in weeks.
Cold months and wet months
Nights in Avon normally fall below freezing 8 months of the year, deepest in January at 6.6 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; April is the wettest month at 2.98 of 26.1 inches a year, rain recorded at Beaver Ck Village 2.9 miles away and temperatures 8.6 miles away. The freezing season runs from October into May here, the whole ski season and the weeks after it, so a unit closed for the spring is still in freezing weather.
The weak points here
- Large buildings, over a third of all homes, where a year-round tenant lives below a second-home unit that sits empty for weeks
- Electric heat in about half of homes, which stops in a power outage whether or not the unit is occupied
- Freezing nights into May, after some part-time owners have already closed their units for the season

Frequently asked questions
What should an Avon tenant do when water comes through the ceiling from an empty unit?
Call the building manager at once, because the owner upstairs may be out of state. Management can get into the unit and shut the water off. Note when the water appeared and where, and move belongings away from it. The faster someone reaches the empty unit, the less of the building is affected.
How should an Avon second-home owner leave a unit between visits?
With the heat at a steady, moderate setting, a key and current contact details left with the building's manager, and ideally a temperature alarm that sends a message. About half the homes here are heated by electricity, so a power outage can stop the heat while the unit is empty.
Until what month can freezing nights reach an Avon building?
Into May. Freezing weather here runs from October through the ski season and beyond, so a unit closed after spring skiing still faces cold nights for weeks. Leaving the heat on at a moderate setting until late spring closes that gap.

If water is still running, find the main shutoff or, on a well, switch off the pump at its breaker before calling.
