Freeze Protection & Spring Start-Up in Georgetown

Georgetown is split between Sun City retirees who want hands-off reliability and new subdivisions with builder-grade systems. Sun City controllers run scheduled backflow tests and need annual certification. Historic lots near the square have mature trees and root-tangled laterals.

Austin does not get a Denver winter, but a February freeze still splits backflow bodies and above-grade PVC. We wrap, drain where it helps, and come back in spring to run every station and replace what cracked. This page is the freeze protection & spring start-up path for Georgetown.

What we look for

• Forecast below freezing overnight
• Cracked backflow after a cold snap
• A station that ran all winter and now will not
• Need a spring start-up before the first mow

Guides

• Do not start the system in January just to see

• We do not blow out systems here like they do up north
• Exposed PVC and a Texas sun
• Find the isolation valve before a freeze night
