Our scheduled water maintenance next week means that Citycare Water needs to temporarily turn off water supply to properties in Martinborough from 4 to 45 Venice Street on Monday 19 October from 9am to 12pm.

Prepare by stocking up on water beforehand

If you need water during this period, please make sure to fill up suitable containers before the water is turned off.

Guidelines while water is shutdown

• Try not to use hot taps while the water is off. Hot water cylinders may be damaged if the water level gets too low.
• Do not use washing machines, automatic dishwashers or other appliances that use water during the shut-off period as they may be damaged if used without water.  
• In the event of very bad weather, work will be deferred to a later date. 
• When the water supply is turned back on, the water may have a milky-white appearance. This is caused by small air bubbles in the water supply and will not affect taste or quality. We will try to eliminate most of the air from the system when the supply is restored.  However, if air is still visible in your water, running a tap for a few minutes should clear it from your pipes.
