Our guide to re-introducing the water supply at your business


This page provides advice on what you need to consider to make sure your water is safe to use once your property or business reopens.

During certain times of the year, many businesses, and domestic properties temporarily close or significantly reduce their normal activities. This may result in the water sitting in the internal plumbing system for a number of weeks.

The main issue for any property that has been closed for a number of weeks is that the water in the internal pipe system could have become stagnated.

In order to protect the health of your visitors, customers or employees, it’s really important that you identify and mitigate these risks before you re-open.
