Are you buying or selling a property? - Why don't you have any water?
There are a few common reasons why you might not have any water.
- Occasionally we turn the meter tap off to repair your private water pipes. A plumber may also turn it off while working on your property. Please check the meter tap is in the 'on' position (turn anti-clockwise like normal household taps).
- If you live in a property that shares a water meter, eg a block of units, someone may have turned off the water supply to the entire block to repair a fault. Contact your body corporate or strata management to investigate.
- We may be fixing a broken or damaged water main and need to turn off the water supply to fix it. Register for water outage alerts if you'd like us to notify you when we need to turn off the water supply to your property.
Please check our water supply & service updates map to see if we're working near your property. A problem in a nearby street may affect your property even though you can't see it.
What can you do if you have no water and your meter tap is turned on?
Check for outages
13 20 90 (24 hours/7 days) to report a fault.
What can you do if you have no water and the temperature was below zero?If the temperature was below zero overnight, the water inside your outdoor pipes might be frozen. This means you still have a water supply, but it's not getting into your property because of the cold.
If you have some water in your house, you can pour it over the frozen pipes to thaw them. Don't use hot water! It may crack your pipes. If you don't have any stored water, the pipes will naturally thaw as the day gets warmer.
If you'd like to prevent your pipes from freezing, place something over them the night before - like a bucket, plastic tub or cardboard box. Wrapping the pipes in foam, rubber, crumpled newspaper or a towel can help too. If you'd like longer-term solution, place half a tyre over the pipes to prevent the pipes freezing. All these options insulate the area so it doesn't get as cold.The meter tap controls the water supply to your property - it's not a standard garden tap. Always check that it's turned on before contacting us.
