Before a Water Outage:
- Stock up on bottled water for essential purposes like drinking, oral hygiene, preparing baby food or formula, and providing for pets. Our scheduled outages typically last less than 10 hours, and we strive to finish the necessary work promptly. One to two gallons should suffice for most individuals.
- Fill the bathtub with water before the planned outage. This water can be utilized for non-drinking purposes such as flushing toilets, washing up, and basic cleaning.
- Ensure that tasks such as laundry and dishwashing are finished before the scheduled outage begins.
- Plan for the family to take baths or showers the night before the scheduled outage
- Keep hand sanitizer handy for quick hygiene upkeep.
After a Water Outage:
- Outages may result in air being trapped in the plumbing lines during re-pressurization. This can manifest as spurts of water from fixtures and a foamy appearance in filled glasses, which will dissipate over time.
- To address air in the lines, run water from a fixture at the end of your home’s plumbing system until the air is eliminated.
- Water outages may disrupt the flow, resulting in temporarily discolored water due to internal pipe rust and sediment.
- Discoloration typically clears on its own. Run cold water for a few minutes to check for clarity.
- If water remains discolored after 1-2 hours, run water using an outside faucet or hose bib if possible.
- Avoid using hot water if cold water is discolored to prevent filling the hot water tank with turbid water.
- Stop washing machine cycles if water is discolored to avoid permanent staining of laundry items.
