The water is safe to consume, but we recommend you let the water run clear before you drink or bathe in it. If there is ever any health risk in the water supply, Unitywater will notify the public immediately.
Don't do any washing or use your dishwasher or washing machine until the discolouration clears.
Make sure your water is completely clear before using any hot water, as dirty water can affect your hot water system.

Prevent wasting water by catching it in a bucket to use on your plants or garden.
After 5 minutes of flushing your water from your outside tap, the water should run clear. If you are still getting dirty water, please call us on 1300 086 489.
