> Be prepared with another
source of water
Our bushfire preparation this season includes making sure our customers know how important it is to put aside some drinking water and to be ready with an alternative source of water in the event of a bushfire.
A bushfire may impact on our ability to maintain your water pressure or to supply water if a water asset is damaged.
If you intend to defend your property, be prepared with another source of water if town water becomes limited or unavailable.
> Other options to consider
Consider installing a water tank specifically for fire fighting purposes. If you have a swimming pool or dam consider using these as a source of water for fire fighting.
To draw water from an independent water supply, a petrol or diesel fire-fighting pump is needed.
Consult a pump specialist to determine the size of the pump and fittings needed. Hoses for use in the event of a bushfire should be able to reach all areas of your home.
