WAF PUBLIC ADVISORY – CLEAN YOUR WATER STORAGE FACILITIES FREQUENTLY

WAF kindly reminds our customers to clean their water storage facilities frequently as a health and safety measure.

Our water carting teams have noted on numerous occasions that unclean, drums, containers, and tanks are being used to store water.

While we do our part to treat water and ensure that it is clean and safe for consumption, if the water storage facilities being used by our customers are unclean, there is a risk of contamination, leading to severe illness or worse.

We also encourage our customers to ensure that they frequently and thoroughly clean the gutters on their roofs to avoid algae build-up as these pipes are used in the process of storing rainwater.
