and they shut off the water. Whenever this has happened (a few times already this summer), my faucets sound like they are going to explode when I turn them on, and I worry about the toilet parts getting damaged because of the explosiveness of the water coming into it when I first flush it.
Is there anything that I can do to prevent damage to the toilet? I don't think that there is anything that can be damaged from the faucets and I can just let them sputter (well, now that the screens on all my faucets have already been blown out from earlier water main work). But I do not want to damage the toilet.....what should I do?
On edit: they are done finally, and water is back on. I ran the faucets in the bathroom, turned off the water to the toilet, flushed it, then very slowly turned the water back on. Just a little sputtering that was not explosive. Thanks.
