Returning to a Closed Building?

When people return to buildings and homes that have been closed for weeks, the water needs to be refreshed. To flush out stagnant water, simultaneously turn on all faucets for 10-15 minutes and flush all toilets. This will also refill dried-out drain traps where odors may be present. Read more or view CDC guidelines.

Keep Wipes Out of Pipes

As people increase their use of disinfecting wipes, IRWD reminds customers not to flush them. Please throw them away! Wipes are not flushable and can easily snag on imperfections in pipelines and create severe clogs in your home’s plumbing or the water district sewers. More information.

Got Water Budget Questions?

Concerned your family will exceed its water budget — and get a big bill — while under stay-at-home orders? Good news: You should be fine if you correctly reported the number of people in your home. Details here. If extra people are at home, apply for a temporary COVID-19 budget variance. This variance has been extended through Dec. 31, 2020.

Events and Meeting Rooms Suspended
