If you have been notified that Nixcavating is going to be working on your water line, there are a few things you can do that will help ensure you’re back to having clean drinking water as soon as possible.
Before the Water Outage:
- Fill pots on the stove with water for cooking
- Fill buckets with water for washing
- Fill potable water containers for drinking, assume one gallon, per person, per day
- Fill bathtubs or additional buckets to flush toilets. A toilet will flush when approx. one gallon of water is dumped in the bowl
During the Water Outage:
Please try not to turn on your faucet, this will help prevent air from entering your plumbing.
After the Water Outage:
When your water line or the service main line is disturbed, you might notice discolored water temporarily. The discolored water is from sediment getting stirred up by the repair and re-pressurization of the line. The water should clear on its own with some time.
To ensure your water line is clear before using, run an exterior faucet until the water runs clear. If you don’t have access to an exterior faucet, run the COLD water in a sink for a few minutes until it runs clear. If that doesn’t work, give it an hour or two, and run the COLD water in your bathtub or shower.
* Avoid running hot water while the water is discolored
* Don’t run the dishwasher or clothes washing machine, until your water is clear
* Rinse (or replace) the sink faucet aerators (screen) if you think your water flow is disturbed
