Covid 19 drinking water advice for community facilities/businesses
23 Apr 2020, 12:00 PM
Due to the lockdown, a number of community facilities/businesses may not have been occupied for a number of weeks. When you return following lifting of Covid 19 restrictions, the quality of drinking water sitting in pipes may have deteriorated over time and not be up to the usual safe standard. The Ministry of Health recommends to flush all of your taps/faucets so that the water is clear or appears normal.
