Water Safety
During a flood, water for household use may become contaminated with bacteria, viruses and other organisms that can spread diseases and make you and your family very sick.
This applies to treated and untreated water sources (streams, springs, wells).
Take precautions to ensure that water is safe to consume.
Boil all drinking water that may have come into contact with flood waters.
Bring the water to a complete rolling boil and then leave it to boil for an extra 5 minutes.
