Steps to keep your water safe
Keep Water Circulating
- Run all taps, showers and all outlets that are not used regularly at least once a week.
- Flush all taps and showers (both cold and hot) for at least five minutes if you have been away from home for more than a week. It is important to guard against water splashing up or spraying towards you, especially from showers or spray taps.
Reporting Issues
- Boiler or Hot Water Cylinder Problems: Inform the Council if these are not working correctly.
- Water Quality Issues: Report any consistent debris or discolouration in your water.
- DIY Precautions: Always request permission before doing any DIY work that might disturb water systems. Always use trained professionals for any repairs or maintenance involving water systems.
