La responsabilidad de reemplazar las líneas de agua Siempre ha sido la responsabilidad del dueño de propiedad reparar todas las líneas de agua entre el contador y la casa. La única cosa nueva es el seguro que la ciudad permite que compañías traten de vendernos. Estamos recibiendo cantidades enormes de correo no deseado acerca de la venta de este seguro.

Tips to Help Prevent Emergencies on the Road As vacation season approaches, here are some safety tips to help avoid extra stress and help insure a more enjoyable trip. • Keep at least a quarter tank of gas in your car at all times. If your car has a low fuel indicator, heed its warning promptly and stop at the nearest gas station. • Check your tires for wear monthly. Problems can develop quickly. To check your tire tread, insert a penny with Lincoln’s head straight down into the tread. If the tread doesn’t cover the top of his head, it’s time for new tires. • Follow the maintenance guidelines included in your car’s manual. Be sure to have your brakes checked every 6,000 miles or so. • Always keep your cell phone battery charged. Have the phone number of your roadside assistance service programmed into your phone. Have the contact information of the person to "notify in case of emergency" readily available.
Consejos para ayudar a prevenir emergencias en el camino Mientras que se acerca la estación de vacaciones, aquí tiene unos consejos de seguridad para ayudarle a prevenir estrés extra y ayudarle a asegurar un viaje más agradable. • Mantenga por lo menos un cuarto del tanque de gasolina en su carro todo el tiempo. Si su caMay, 2014
rro tiene el indicador de combustible al punto bajo, preste atención a su advertencia sin demora y párese en la gasolinera más cerca. • Examine sus neumáticos para ver si gastan mensualmente. Los problemas pueden desarrollarse rápidamente. Para examinar la banda de rodadura del neumático meta un centavo con la cabeza de Lincoln metido entre las bandas. Si las bandas no cubren encima de su cabeza, es hora para comprar neumáticos nuevos. • Siga las directrices de mantenimiento incluidas en el manual de su carro. Asegúrese de tener los frenos examinados más o menos cada 6.000 millas. • Siempre mantenga la batería de su teléfono celular cargada. Guarde programado en su teléfono el número de su servicio de asistencia en carretera. Tenga la información de contacto de la persona para “notificar en caso de emergencia” fácilmente disponible
