Youth Urban Survival Skills Fair Build lifelong skills at this fun and interactive event designed for kids – adults will learn, too!  Ever put out a  fire with a common household extinguisher?  It’s not as easy as you think. Practice on our simulator.  Could your kids identify a dangerous natural gas leak?  Scratch-and-sniff stickers.  Turn off the gas if needed?  Practice on a real gas meter.  Much more to experience!  Kids can build and take home practical items like a “get home” bag for the caretakers in their lives or an emergency toilet.  Why an emergency toilet?  They will learn!  Knowledge is power.  Increase your child’s resiliency and get them excited about thinking ahead.  Lifelong skills!

Seattle Public Utilities Winter Weather Information
If Pipes Break or Freeze
If a water pipe breaks, immediately close the main shut-off valve to stop flooding. The shut-off valve can be indoors or outdoors – usually in a basement, crawlspace or garage. If you cannot turn off the main shut-off valve, SPU customers can call (206) 386-1800 and a crew will turn off the water at the meter for a service charge. This phone number is staffed 24/7.
Call a plumber to repair or replace the damaged section of the pipe as soon as possible. Click here to learn more about thawing frozen pipes
