Practical tips for residents

Flush After Absence

If your home has been unoccupied for several days, run the kitchen tap for 30 seconds before drinking. This clears stale water that has been sitting in pipes.

Use Cold Water for Cooking

Always draw cold water for cooking and drinking. Hot water systems can leach metals from pipes and fittings, and cold water has less dissolved material overall.

Maintain Your Filter

If you use a water filter jug or benchtop system, replace the cartridge according to the manufacturer's schedule. An old filter can harbour bacteria and reduce performance.

Utility reports average the grid — not your home

Lake Conjola does not have suburb-level lab readings yet, and old pipes, roof tanks, and ageing plumbing can add lead, copper or bacteria before the water reaches your tap. These won't show up in your utility report.

Check your own tap before buying a filter or assuming the suburb average matches your home.
