How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

Mack: what fails while nobody is home

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Mack reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Nearly two in three homes in the 81525 ZIP code area around Mack heat with propane, and one in ten burns wood.

The housing, by age

Mack sits in the 81525 ZIP code area, where 118 of 428 homes went up before 1990 and the median build year is 2004. Across that area, a little under a quarter of homes are mobile homes, so for many households the water line rises out of the ground into a floor heated by a tank or a stove.

Cold months and wet months

The freeze season in Mack runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 14.9 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 9.66 inches in a normal year, 1.16 fall in September, the wettest month, rain recorded at MACK 5 NW 4.5 miles away and temperatures at FRUITA 9.2 miles away. January afternoons here normally reach only 39 degrees, so a line frozen overnight may still be frozen at dusk.

The weak points here

  • Propane or wood heat in about three homes in four, where the heat depends on the tank or the stove
  • Mobile homes, a little under a quarter of the area, with lines rising into the floor
  • A dry climate that makes winter easy to underestimate, with freezing nights for five months

Frequently asked questions

Does Mack's dry climate make frozen pipes less likely?

No. Dryness has nothing to do with freezing; normal nights here fall below freezing from November through March. A dry, clear winter night can be colder than a cloudy one, because heat escapes faster.

If a Mack home runs on a wood stove, what covers the hours after the fire dies?

Keep a backup heat source that runs on its own, and on nights away shut off the water and drain the lowest faucet. About one home in ten around Mack burns wood, and a stove that burns down leaves the house to cool.

When should a Mack household check its propane before winter?

In October, before the first freezing nights in November. Filling the tank or setting up automatic delivery then avoids running low during the coldest weeks of January.

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