ODESSA, Texas (Nexstar) – It’s beginning to look a lot like winter in the Permian Basin. With cold temperatures on the way, experts say that you should prepare yourself and your home ahead of the freezing temperatures. Insulating your pipes is the first step to making sure that the cold weather doesn’t cause them to freeze and burst. Last year, the City of Odessa’s water supply was in danger when the winter freeze swept through the Basin. Other tips to insulate your pipes are to place a piece of cardboard against your insulation to protect your pipes from the wind chill as best as possible.
