Recommendations regarding water quality upon resumption of distribution
Subscribers who notice the resumption of distribution must take precautions not to drink network water.
However, water can be used for all other sanitary uses (toilet, wc, etc.).
For consumption (drinking, meal preparation), it is recommended to use bottled water. Otherwise, boil tap water and keep it boiling for at least 3 minutes.
Given the fragility of the resource, we ask all of our subscribers to adopt civic behavior in order to preserve the resource.
