Newport climate
by the numbers
Newport's unique plumbing challenges
About 151 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Poland
First frost typically lands around October 18
Seasonal timing
Given a December average low of 22F and about 151 nights below freezing across the year, the shared stack in an older conversion deserves a look before anyone leaves for the winter.

People also ask
Usually yes. When one unit loses pressure the problem is normally in that unit's branch, and when both go at the same time the fault is upstream on the common riser or at the main into the building. Close the main shutoff and have the riser checked from the basement up.
Either fully winterize it or keep the heat on. Turning the water off at the unit valve and draining the branch removes the risk, and leaving low heat running protects the shared stack in the party wall. The half measure, water on and heat off, is the one that causes damage.
It complicates billing more than plumbing, but it does hide leaks. With one meter serving two units nobody sees a change in usage when a supply line starts weeping inside a party wall, and the first sign is often a stain rather than a bill.
The insulation around any shared run, the valves on each unit's branch, and whatever heat source keeps the common hallway above freezing. January averages a low of 13F here, and the hallway is usually the coldest heated space in the building.
