Drinking water tips for owners and stakeholders
To assist property owners and stakeholders with the management of the drinking water supply that is connected to their premises, Mt Hotham Alpine Resort has these useful tips:
- If your building’s water supply has not been in use for some time, when returning to the building or turning the water back on, it’s advisable to initially run a tap for 2 minutes.
- It is advisable, when leaving a building vacant for an extended period of time, to isolate the drinking water mains supply and open drain taps if they are available, in order to reduce the risk of pipes freezing.
- Being “Water Wise” helps protect our environment.
- While out skiing and walking on trails, be mindful when you are inside the catchment of the need to look after the environment within it.
