Don’t take it off if a legal requirement as the Village water Police might come by and shut your water off, LOL. Just remove it and replace if you sell the home. As an added protection, I never leave the hose connected to the water valve because you cannot tell if you left the water on (then the hose explodes) or if the valve starts to leak from the faucet you would never see it, etc. Same principle as the anti siphon without getting wet. Never had these up north and we actually survived.
