Every effort will be taken to turn the water service back on as soon as possible. This work is required to perform critical system maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, and we are working to complete it as quickly and safely as possible.
Be prepared
- Store water: Fill jugs, pots and a kettle before the shut down begins. Allow for drinking, cooking and sanitation.
- Plan ahead: Run dishwashers and laundry before the shut down starts.
- Protect equipment: Turn off hot water tanks, humidifiers and any water-dependent appliances.
- Close taps: Make sure all taps are closed so there is no overflow when service returns.
- Flush lines: Run your cold water taps for 1–2 minutes once service is restored to clear any sediment or air. Discoloured water should clear shortly.
We thank you for your patience and cooperation.
