Returning to work and school in Level 2

The Team from Wellington Water

With more people returning to work and school in Level 2, we wanted to remind people that since water hasn't been running as frequently through the taps, it's a good idea to run your taps to flush out the system when you return to work.

With more people returning to work and school in Level 2, we wanted to remind people that since water hasn't been running as frequently through the taps, it's a good idea to run your taps to flush out the system when you return to work.

When left alone in your pipework for an extended period, water can become stagnant and while it's still safe to drink, it may taste unpleasant, so it’s a good idea to run the tap for a while to make sure you have fresh drinking water.

He drove down the road then back past our place and stopped just up the road. He was driving a white double cab Toyota Hilux ute. Looked liked he had bits and pieces on the back. He walked down the road looking into all the neighbouring properties.
