We are not snowbirds, but will be moving to TV permanently at the end of October. You may wonder then, why am I posting here. We have for years turned the water off whenever we leave for more than overnight. The reason being that we had a problem with a water leak just when we were getting ready to go on a long week-end several years ago. We were heading out the door and noticed the leak and did not have time to do anything about it at the moment. I went to the basement and turned the water off and then drained the pipes and turned the water heater off. The plumber told me, when we returned and had the problem corrected, that it's a good thing I had drained the system and took the presure off the pipes. If I had not, we would have had a flooded house when we returned. Just remember the 7 P's.
