Recommendations
Before the water outage:
• We recommend filling containers with water to cover your essential needs during the outage, such as drinking, cooking, and washing.
• Consider filling your bathtub or keeping buckets of water to manually refill your toilet tank, allowing you to continue using it during the outage.
During the water outage:
• Do not use water-requiring appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines until service is restored.
• Shut off water supplies to your refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker, if applicable.
• Close your taps to prevent water from flowing or spurting when the water service is restored.
During the boil water advisory:
• Boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing baby formula, etc.
• You may choose to use bottled water for drinking and food preparation.
• Unboiled water can be used for tasks not related to direct consumption, such as showering (avoid swallowing water).
If your water is discolored:
• This discoloration is temporary and harmless.
• Open your cold water tap (preferably the bath or kitchen sink) and let it run until the water becomes clear.
• If your faucet has an aerator, unscrew the nozzle before letting the water run.
• Ensure the water is clear before using hot water or water-operated devices, including your refrigerator’s water dispenser, to avoid any stains or damage.
• Avoid using the washing machine during this period.
• A cleaning product is available free of charge at the multiservice counter of City Hall if your clothes are stained by the colored water.
