During the Shut-Off

It is important to keep taps fully closed to stop any flooding, when the water comes back on.

After the Shut-Off
When your water supply comes back on, it may be cloudy, discoloured or have sediment in it. If this is the case, please:
Try running your cold water tap on a slow and steady flow for 20 minutes, you may need to repeat this two or three times.  The cold-water tap in the kitchen is usually the best one to use for this.
Do not use your washing machine, dishwater, shower or any similar appliance until the water clears.
If your water does not run clear after 30 minutes, do not drink it and please contact us (see information given below).
