It might could have happened, but it didn't. That is what we were told to do.
When you were seasonal residents, graciegirl, how long were you typically gone? Also, did you have someone coming in and checking on your house?

My neighbors are snowbirds and gave us the key to check on their house. The first time we went in their house, the water was nearly gone from one toilet because they had left the toilet lid up and it had evaporated quickly.
