Turning on the water

Retired Ole Guy · 04-06-2012, 08:32 PM

Looking for some advice from the group.

I have recently retired and it dawns on me that I can open my summer place earlier. I generally don't worry about freezing pipes because I rarely got it opened before mid May in the past.

I would like to start right after Easter this year but I am kind of leery of leaving the water on for a week while I am back home because of wife's work and kids school . Any thoughts as to when it should be ok to leave the water on. I realize that nothing is ever a sure

thing but just looking for thoughts on the matter . Thanks
