A water leak, planned work on your sprinkler system, venturing away from home, or an emergency may necessitate turning off the water to your home. Do you, and everyone in your household, know how to turn off the water to your home? The information below guides you on locating and turning off your water by utilizing the “house valve” aka “customer valve.”
Your house valve can be one of two types: a gate valve or a ball valve.
You may want to attach a tag or label to your house valve for quick identification so that you and the members of your household can find it even in the dark.
Everyone in your home should know how to shut off the water to your home. In the event of an emergency, such as an earthquake or an unexpected winter freeze, you may want to turn off the water supply to your home to prevent water damage to your property. Take a few minutes to locate and learn how to operate your house valve.
THANK YOU to ALL who have served. We APPRECIATE your SERVICE!
The Pine Cove Water District office will be closed Monday, November 11th in honor of Veteran’s Day.
We will reopen with normal hours Tuesday the 12th.

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is approaching! Time for decorating, baking, and celebrating with your household. While you might be putting final touches together, or maybe you are still in the early stages, one thing you may or may have not thought about is water.
The consumption of this precious resource can often be overlooked when preparing your favorite holiday dishes, but water plays a huge role in the kitchen, from food preparation to the clean-up process.
Here are some simple ways to save water while preparing your favorite holiday meals:
Leaving the faucet on to defrost a frozen ham or turkey will waste a ton of water. It can cause quite the dent in your water bill, too. Instead, let your frozen items defrost overnight in the fridge.
Fill a large bowl or pan with water to rinse vegetables and fruits rather than running the tap. This water can be reused to water your garden or any indoor plants you may have around the house.
Don’t use your garbage disposal to discard food waste after holiday meals. Toss scraps into the garbage can or save those leaves, rinds, and stems for making compost. Not only will you save water, but the compost can later be used to fertilize your garden.
If you have a dishwasher, use it. Washing full loads of dishes saves 5-15 gallons per load and uses significantly less water than washing by hand.
Inspect your bathroom fixtures for malfunctions and leaks before your guests arrive. During the holidays, bathrooms are likely to experience heavier usage than normal which can lead to more issues. Fixing a leak as small as the tip of a ball point pen can save up to 110 gallons!

Happy Labor Day!!!
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public “the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations” of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families.

The American Red Cross regularly puts out safety precautions and as this coming weekend is going to be another hot one, there are additional precautions to consider.
Use these ideas to make your own self-care checklist this summer. Even small changes to your routine can improve your self-care practice and overall mood. Focus on new ways you can be active, get outside and get involved with your community. Make this summer a season of self-care.
As we all head outside to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather this summer, the American Red Cross offers 20 steps you can follow to help keep you safe.
Do your plans include a road trip?
With more people on the roads, it’s important to drive safely.
1. Be well rested and alert, use your seat belts, observe speed limits and follow the rules of the road.
2. If you plan on drinking alcohol, designate a driver who won’t drink.
3. Avoid distractions such as cell phones.
4. Use caution in work zones. There are lots of construction projects underway.
5. Turn your headlights on as dusk approaches, or during inclement weather. Don’t overdrive your headlights.
Drowning can happen quickly and silently. Unless rescued, it could take as little as 20 to 60 seconds for a drowning person to submerge.
6. Prevent unsupervised access to water, provide constant, active adult supervision and know how to swim.
7. Swim in an area with lifeguards.
8. Designate a “water watcher” whose sole responsibility is to keep a close eye and constant attention on everyone in and around the water until the next water watcher takes over.
9. Don’t just pack it, wear your life jacket — always on a boat and if you are in a situation beyond your skill level.
10. Reach or throw, don’t go! In the event of an emergency, reach or throw an object to the person in trouble and tell them to grab on to it. Don’t go in! You could become a victim yourself.
Summer is a great time for a picnic. But be careful grilling, which causes 10,000 home fires every year.
11. Wash your hands, utensils and workstation before preparing the food.
12. Separate uncooked meats, poultry and seafood from ready-to-eat foods like salads, fruits, vegetables, cheeses and desserts. Use separate plates and utensils to prevent cross-contamination.
13. Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use and never grill indoors. Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, deck, tree branches or anything that could catch fire.
14. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays away from the grill.
15. Don’t leave food out in the hot sun. Keep perishable foods in a cooler with plenty of ice or freezer gel packs.
Camping is one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in the U.S. But being prepared for emergencies is critical when you’re headed to an area with limited access to phone services and help.
16. Know the level of ability of the people in your group and the environment around you. Plan accordingly.
17. Pack a first aid kit to handle insect stings, sprains, cuts and bruises and other injuries that could happen.
18. Sprains and falls are some of the most common misfortunes travelers may face. Dehydration is also a danger. Take a Red Cross first aid and CPR/AED course and download the free First Aid app so that you will know what to do in case help is delayed.
19. Share your travel plans and locations with a family member, neighbor or friend.
20. Bring nutritious food items and water, light-weight clothing to layer and supplies for any pets.
