In a house used part of the year, a dishwasher can sit for weeks with water standing in its sump, and the door gasket and pump seals dry out while it waits. Running a short cycle on arrival, and watching the floor afterward, catches most of what the empty months did. ## What Malibu does to a dishwasher. Malibu's water is supplied by Los Angeles County Waterworks District 29. Before incorporating, Malibu residents fought several county plans to replace septic tanks with sewer lines. In 2009 the regional water board ordered Malibu to build a sewage plant for the Civic Center area, and the Civic Center Wastewater Treatment Facility broke ground in 2016. The 2020 census found nearly a third of Malibu's housing units vacant.

Closing the supply valve before leaving protects the floor better than any repair made afterward. ### Outdoor kitchens Where winters freeze, an outdoor dishwasher has to be drained and its supply line shut off and emptied for the season, and a cracked valve or pump housing in spring is the usual result of skipping that step. ## A visit in Malibu.
