A warning to everyone as the arctic freeze approaches, don't forget to turn off the lawn sprinkler system during freezing weather.
The water that collects on sidewalks and roads can cause all sorts of trouble.
Jacob Denny of Lawn Sense in McKinney says there is another hazard, that sprinkler system lines can freeze. He says to shut down the sprinkler system now.
Michael Drinning of Ledger's Sprinklers says some homeowners don't know where the shut-off is, others may have covered them up with sod.
The big shock for some will be when the ground thaws and, only then, do they realize the sprinkler line has developed a crack.
