| Be prepared for any potential winter freezes by remembering to protect the four Ps: |
| Don't forget your pet. |
| When temperatures drop, don't forget to bring pets indoors. Take pets outside only for short periods of time or quick walks as the cold ground can cause frostbite on their paws and wind chill can be damaging to their health. For more winter pet safety tips, click here. |
| Reminder: During snow and ice storms, keep at least 200 feet behind the sanding and de-icing trucks as they are applying the materials to the roads. They may adjust their speeds as necessary, and your cooperation will protect your vehicle and avoid mishaps.

When temperatures are near freezing, businesses and residents need to pay close attention to their irrigation systems. On very cold days, the City of Carrollton receives numerous requests to sand roadways and sidewalks that are frozen and slippery due to irrigation overspray. This creates a safety hazard for pedestrians and drivers, and you can be held accountable if your system caused the problem. |
| Rain and Freeze Sensors |
|
One way to be sure that your irrigation system is not contributing to the icy conditions is to install a rain and freeze sensor. Not only will these sensors save you money by automatically turning off your system during rain and freeze events, they will also help eliminate potentially hazardous situations such as icy sidewalks and roadways. |
