FLUSH PLUMBING WHEN RETURNING TO CLOSED BUILDINGS
Many businesses, schools, homes, and other buildings have been unused for several weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When returning to a closed building, the stagnant water inside the building’s plumbing system needs to be flushed to replenish with fresh water. Under normal use, water pipes maintain a residual chlorine disinfection to protect the public health and aesthetic water quality. Water in unused buildings can degrade and cause health hazards such as Legionella growth and leaching of lead and copper from plumbing pipes.
