How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a McClave leak can run
A pipe that splits while nobody is home anywhere in McClave is one call from an independent restoration contractor. More than nine in ten of McClave's homes were already standing in 1990, and about one in five is a mobile home.
The buildings themselves
The median home in McClave was built in 1972, and 93.2 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. The median house dates to 1972, so the town's plumbing mostly follows that era's layout, with laundry, water heaters and lines along the walls that face the weather.
Weather that sets the risk
The freeze season in McClave runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 16.3 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 13.15 inches in a normal year, 2.35 fall in July, the wettest month, both figures recorded at JOHN MARTIN DAM, 6.4 miles away. January afternoons normally reach 46.3 degrees here, well above freezing, so an exposed line under a mobile home can freeze overnight and thaw the next day, many times in a month.

Frequently asked questions
Where does a 1970s McClave house usually freeze first?
Along exterior walls, particularly where laundry hookups or a water heater sit against them, and in any crawl space. Keeping the heat steady during a January cold snap and opening cabinet doors on outside walls protects them.
How can a McClave mobile home owner prepare for November?
Check that the skirting is intact and the heat tape on the water line works, before the first freezing nights. Those two things protect the section of line that freezes first.
What should a McClave owner of an attached home tell the neighbor before a winter trip?
How long they will be gone and how to reach them, and ideally leave a key. A frozen line in an attached home shows up next door, so a neighbor who can get inside can stop the water before it spreads.

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