How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Fraser leak can run
A pipe that splits while nobody is home in Fraser or out in Grand Park West Mountain and Leland Creek is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Half of Fraser's homes are held for seasonal use, and nearly two in three are townhomes, duplexes or units in small buildings.
The buildings themselves
The median home in Fraser was built in 1993, and 46.7 percent of them were already standing in 1990; that age is a fair guide to how much of a building's water system runs where nobody looks between visits. Where a second-home owner's unit shares walls with others, a line that freezes while the owner is away becomes the neighbors' problem, often before anyone can reach the owner.
Weather that sets the risk
Over a normal year Fraser spends 9 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at -0.9 degrees in January, while July, at an average 57.4 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 19.58 inches fall in a normal year, 2.04 of them in April, both figures recorded at FRASER, 1.5 miles away. Freezing nights come in every month from September through May here, so a unit closed after a summer visit is exposed almost at once.
What to watch in Fraser
- Second homes, half of all homes, left for weeks between visits in nearly year-round freezing weather
- Townhomes and small multi-unit buildings, nearly two in three homes, where water from an empty unit reaches others
- Electric heat in close to half the homes, which goes dark whenever a mountain storm takes the power down

Frequently asked questions
Is there any safe month to leave a Fraser home unheated?
Only midsummer. Freezing nights come from September through May here, so a unit with water in its lines and no heat is at risk for most of the year. Owners should leave the heat on at a moderate setting or drain the lines whenever they leave outside June, July and August.
How does a Fraser townhome owner find out about a leak next door?
Usually from the neighbor or the association, which is why both need a way to reach you. Water from an empty unit moves through shared walls and floors, and with many owners away, the person who notices may not be the one who can shut it off.
What does a winter power outage mean for an electric-heated Fraser home?
That its heat stops completely. In a home nobody is in, the cold can reach the lines within hours at this elevation. A temperature alarm that sends a message, or a caretaker who checks after outages, gives time to act.

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