00:00:02.150 --> 00:00:09.939
City West Water is supplying recycled water to homes in West Wyndham through distinctive purple pipes connected to customers properties

00:00:10.549 --> 00:00:12.469
recycled water is a sustainable

00:00:12.469 --> 00:00:18.698
alternative to drinking water and is suitable for watering gardens, toilet flushing, washing machines and washing the car.

00:00:23.740 --> 00:00:28.769
While it is treated to a safe and high quality standard, it should not be used for drinking, cooking,

00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:36.449
washing or bathing. To ensure your recycled water and drinking water are supplied correctly, we encourage you to complete a simple

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:44.340
internal plumbing check. Step one turn off the drinking water supply, at the drinking water meter located at the front of your property.

00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:48.720
The drinking water meter is a different color to your purple water meter.

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.349
Your recycled water meter should be left on. Step two turn on all inside taps

00:00:56.260 --> 00:01:01.019
slowly turn on all hot and cold sink, bath and shower taps one by one.

00:01:01.540 --> 00:01:06.269
You should also include your sanitary spray or bidet and water ice

00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:07.540
dispenser on your refrigerator, if you have one.

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:14.730
All taps should run dry within a short period of time. If they continue to run they could be connected

00:01:14.730 --> 00:01:16.730
to the recycled water system.

00:01:19.899 --> 00:01:23.998
Step 3 after all taps have run dry, flush all toilets.

00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:28.619
These should refill as normal, as they should be connected to your recycled water supply

00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:35.449
Step 4 turn on all outside taps

00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:41.508
The external drinking water tap should run dry,  the purple water tap should continue to run

00:01:42.119 --> 00:01:43.289
Step 5

00:01:43.289 --> 00:01:50.389
To check appliances within the home such as dishwashers turn on the water supply slowly, so air will be cleared from the pipes

00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:53.210
Turn off recycled water supply at the meter

00:01:53.429 --> 00:02:00.259
Then turn on the internal appliances if the appliances fill with water they are connected correctly to the drinking water supply

00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:03.200
Then turn on the recycled water meter again

00:02:09.369 --> 00:02:12.689
If you think recycled water is connected to taps in your home

00:02:12.690 --> 00:02:17.820
That should be supplying drinking water, you will need to fix the problem as soon as possible. While fixing

00:02:17.820 --> 00:02:21.989
this is your responsibility, City West Water can give you advice on how to do this.
