Specifically any questions from people in Texas.

My water main sits in an underground box in my front yard. Following days of heavy rain, standing water tends to collect in the box, covering the dial and shut-off valve. Would this be of concern in freezing temperatures?
We’re looking at temperatures at or near 21 degrees on four consecutive nights, here.

How much money have you made off of “flushable” wipes?

Should not be a problem. The frozen water will expand and pop the box open. Will only be a problem if you need to turn the water off at that location.
Posted on 12/20/22 at 6:06 pm to Texastiger43
It can service 4 of them.
Posted on 12/20/22 at 6:11 pm to Tiger2375
What are your rates?
Should I drip the hot or cold water?

Does pex crack when the water freezes in it or does it just expand?
Posted on 12/20/22 at 6:17 pm to ItzMe1972
It will just expand and return back to normal.

Correct but uponor pex A fittings will still break when frozen so insulating pex fittings is recommended.

I don’t think you are really a plumber!!!
Posted on 12/20/22 at 6:32 pm to Texastiger43
You’re right.

When is the last time you saw an uncovered hose bib with no exposed pipe freeze and damage anything?
