How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Branson leak can run
Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Branson reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Branson is a tiny town near the New Mexico line where nearly every home is heated from a propane tank.
The buildings themselves
Just 26.2 percent of the homes in Branson are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1973, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Mobile homes make up a large share of its housing, so for many households the only things between a cold night and the water line are a skirting panel and a full tank.
Weather that sets the risk
Nights in Branson normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in December at 18.4 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 2.13 of 12.65 inches a year, both figures recorded at TRINIDAD PERRY STOKES AP, 30.3 miles away. December brings the coldest nights here, and the freezing season runs from November through March, the months when a tank is emptied fastest.
What to watch in Branson

- Mobile homes, a large share of the town, with water lines under the floor behind skirting
- Vacant houses off the market, which may go the winter without anyone stepping inside

Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should a Branson household order propane for winter?
Well before the tank gets low, and ideally on an automatic schedule. Nearly every home here depends on propane for heat, and a tank that empties in December stops the furnace entirely. In a place this remote, a delivery ordered late can arrive after the pipes have frozen.
Beneath a Branson mobile home, where does the water line give out first on a cold night?
The supply line where it comes up from the ground beneath the home. Skirting keeps the wind off it and heat tape keeps it warm, and when either fails, that short run is the first to freeze. Checking both each fall prevents most winter damage.
Who would find a burst pipe in a vacant Branson house?
Possibly nobody for a long time. A house that is not for sale or rent has no one visiting, and in a town this small there are few passers-by. Shutting off the water and draining the lines before winter is the surest protection.

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