On Thursday 7th March, water will be turned off at 9am for approximately four hours while we complete maintenance work on your water mains.
The water could be shut off for longer if any unexpected challenges occur. Please let us know if this would cause a significant problem for you, and we will do our best to work with you.
If you are home, we recommend storing water for daily tasks: drinking water, general hygiene, and food preparation. To flush your toilet, store a bucket of approximately 10 litres of water or fill a bath or sink. You can either pour the water down the toilet or fill the cistern and flush using the normal flush system.
Once the water is turned back on, we will flush your main pipes. This can cause air to become trapped, so we suggest running your outside tap for five minutes to help move the air bubbles through the pipes. You can capture the water in a bucket and reuse it in your garden.
