En la parte inferior dice: “Oficina del Alcalde Freddie O’Connell.” Gráfico titulado: “Qué hacer con el agua cuando está fuera de casa.” Las instrucciones dicen: “Deje correr un chorro pequeño y constante de agua, tanto de la llave de agua fría como de la caliente, en todos los grifos de la vivienda.” “Jale la cadena de todos los inodoros varias veces al día, pero, como mínimo, al menos por la mañana y por la noche.” “Revise su vivienda cada mañana y cada noche.” Incluye íconos de un grifo, un inodoro y una casa. Gráfico titulado: “Qué hacer si hay una fuga de agua dentro de su hogar.” El texto dice: “Si hay una fuga interna o una tubería rota, deberá detener el flujo del agua lo antes posible.” El paso 1 dice: “Ubique la válvula de cierre. Por lo general se encuentra en sótanos, espacios de acceso o garajes; pero no todas las viviendas tienen una.” El paso 2 dice: “Si se revienta una tubería y no tiene una válvula de cierre o no puede encontrarla, deberá cortar el agua en el medidor.” El subtexto dice: “Para recibir ayuda para cerrar el agua en el medidor, llame a MWS (Servicios de Agua de Metro) al 615-862-4600.”

Graphic titled: “What to Do in Case of an Inside Leak.” Text reads: “If you have an internal leak or a burst pipe, you will need to stop the flow of water as soon as possible.” Step 1 reads: “Find shut-off valve.” Subtext: “Typically in basements, crawl spaces, or garages; however not every home has one.” Step 2 reads: “If you experience a burst pipe and do not have a water shut-off valve or are unable to locate it, water will need to be turned off at the meter.” Subtext reads: “For assistance in shutting the water off at the meter, call MWS at 615-862-4600.”
