• WATER

This was originally posted in New Zealand Health Board information.

Please read this if you have very low pressure, and you believe that water supply in your area is damaged.
If you are worried, however not so sure, please contact to your local government if its available.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION

• Boil or treat all water from taps and tankers before drinking, brushing teeth or using in food preparation. Bringing water to the boil is sufficient to kill bugs. Water needs to be boiled even if the smell or taste of chlorine is present. If you cannot boil water, treat it by adding 1 teaspoon of household bleach per 10 litres of water and leave for 30 minutes.
• Waterways are contaminated with sewage. Avoid contact with rivers, sea water, ponds, puddles or other surface water. Do not swim, paddle, fish, or gather shellfish or any other food from oceans and rivers.
• Take care when disposing of human waste (faeces, poo, vomit etc). Only solid waste can go into your red bin, and should be tightly wrapped in plastic. Wash your hands immediately after dealing with any human waste.
• Wash your hands or use hand sanitiser often, particularly after toileting, and before and after eating or preparing food.
• If you don’t have running water, make a plan to move in with a friend or relative who has running water if you get sick. When you are sick, running water (for hand washing and toileting) is much more important.
• If you are sick, try to limit contact with other people, do not go to work and do not prepare food for anyone.
• Take extreme care with food – particularly with food that should be refrigerated. Dispose of smelly, slimy, mouldy or discoloured food immediately. Do not refreeze food once power returns.
• Water coolers – don’t use them until the boil water notice is lifted. When the boil water notice if lifted, ensure they are cleaned or maintained before resuming use.
