What to Do During a Water Outage 1. Store water at least six hours before the outage starts to avoid last-minute surges that could leave end-users without water. 2. As previously reported by Wind Media: 'What to do before water cuts off? 9 plumbing device questions answered — failure to comply may cause fire!' It is recommended to turn off power to water pumps, booster motors, and electric storage water heaters before the outage to prevent fire risks. 3. For buildings where the water inlet is below ground level, close the main shut-off valve before the meter during the outage to prevent possible siphon contamination. 4. When using a rubber hose connected to a faucet, do not submerge the hose in water, to avoid secondary contamination due to siphoning during outage. 5. Upon restoration, open all valves to release trapped air and restore water flow quickly. Users at pipeline ends or higher elevations may experience delayed water supply due to lower pressure — please understand. If water remains unavailable after restoration, contact the water company for on-site assistance.
