We will be carrying out essential connection works as part of the Water Mains and Connections Renewal Project.
This will require a temporary water shutdown in the areas listed above.
Important:
If anyone in your household relies on water for critical medical support, please make alternative arrangements during this time.
Before the shutdown:
• Fill buckets or your bathtub for general use
• Store drinking water in clean, sealed containers
After water is restored:
• Mains flushing will occur to clear air and sediment
• Run your outside tap closest to the road for 2–3 minutes before using indoor taps
• If water appears milky, continue flushing – it’s safe and just air in the lines
