We recommend all Aqua Tech clients and residents in affected areas take the following steps:

✅ Before the Outage

• Fill clean containers with water for drinking, cooking, and hygiene.
• Store water in buckets for flushing toilets.
• Shut off taps to prevent flooding when water is restored.
• Notify staff, tenants, or household members about the interruption.

✅ During the Outage

• Use water sparingly.
• Access water tankers provided by the City where available.
• Monitor pressure levels when using appliances.

✅ After the Outage

• Open taps slowly to release any trapped air in pipes.
• Check for leaks or unusual noises in your plumbing system.
• Contact Aqua Tech for a post-outage inspection if needed.
