As such, I would like to ask our customers to take a few minutes to carry out a few simple checks to safeguard against frozen pipes and subsequent bursts. Not only will a burst pipe cause considerable damage within a property it can also be expensive if you happen to be on a metered supply and it goes undetected.</div></div>

This also includes outside taps and field troughs. If troughs in more remote locations are not required, it may be worth turning off the water and draining them to prevent frost damage.</div></div>
