Freezes are short but real here, and many homes have pipes in attics or on outside walls that aren't protected, so a cold snap can split them. Smithfield was a separate farm community before North Richland Hills grew around it.

Common questions
Can I replace a faucet myself?
Many people do. If the shutoff valves under the sink are stuck or leaking, though, that's a good time to bring in a plumber.
My toilet keeps running. Is that urgent?
Not usually, but it wastes water and raises the bill. A worn flapper or fill valve is the usual cause, and it's a quick repair.
