Signs your water tank may need cleaning

Common signs include visible sediment at the bottom of buckets, a change in water smell or colour, slimy deposits on the tank walls when you lift the lid, or reduced flow caused by debris in outlets. If you notice any of these, it may be time to have the tank inspected and cleaned.

• Keep tank lids closed and in good condition.
• Check that overflow pipes are covered with mesh.
• Keep the area around the sump manhole clean and dry.
