Cleaning of the water mains by air scouring is being conducted during the next four weeks to avoid discolouration in water supply in the warmer months.

The air scouring process may cause temporary discolouration, loss of pressure or supply interruption.

There may be some trapped air in the house water pipes. The air may cause some splutters and spits as it comes out of the taps. If this happens, run your tap until all the trapped air leaves the pipe. Clearing the pipes of trapped air and dirty water should only take a couple of minutes.

To prevent air entering the household water system it is recommended that taps are not opened during the scouring period.
