Tips to help with a water outage

• When water is restored, you could experience discoloured tap water or air in the pipes. The water is still safe. In the case of discoloured water, you should run a cold water tap until it clears. This may take 5-25 minutes.
• Pails of water can be used to flush toilets when you pour the water into the tank. Consider 'cottage rules' for flushing.
• The City of Kingston emergency management plan suggests that each household have four litres of water, per person, per day at the ready for drinking and bathing.
