Freeze Protection & Spring Start-Up in Rollingwood

Rollingwood is a pocket city with older systems and large live oaks. Roots wrap laterals and lift heads. Valve boxes disappear under leaf litter. A dead station is often a solenoid buried under oak roots, not a controller failure.

Austin does not get a Denver winter, but a February freeze still splits backflow bodies and above-grade PVC. We wrap, drain where it helps, and come back in spring to run every station and replace what cracked. This page is the freeze protection & spring start-up path for Rollingwood.

What we look for

• Forecast below freezing overnight
• Cracked backflow after a cold snap
• A station that ran all winter and now will not
• Need a spring start-up before the first mow
