Cortez climate
by the numbers
Cortez's unique plumbing challenges
About 147 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Dolores
First frost typically lands around October 14
Seasonal timing
With first frost near October 14 and only 0.3 sub-zero nights a year, the winter here is mild enough that almost nobody prepares for the night that isn't.

The homeowner, from the curb stop inward. The city keeps the main and that valve. On rural properties with a well there's no curb stop, so the entire system belongs to the owner.
Close the main shutoff, then kill power to the water heater if the tank could run dry. Everything after that is easier with the pressure off and there's no rush to find the split.
