Water board cleans mains to curb dirty discolored supply
The Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board has for years overseen main cleanings to maintain a cleaner service. Private overland water services contaminate the system and, when blocked, cause discolored and dirty taps. The board urges owners to hire plumbers for private lines while maintaining the mains, with repeated cleanings every five years to keep the network clear.
