“When watermains are flushed in this manner it can result in short-term discolouration of the water for a period post flushing.” said the spokesperson.
Residents affected are being advised: “ In the event of discoloration, running the cold kitchen tap for several minutes - we recommend up to 20 minutes - will usually restore the water to a clear colour. The water is safe to drink once running clear.”
“If the issue remains unresolved, we encourage customers to contact us directly on 1800 278 278.”
