Air Scouring Program Map here
Following air scouring, consumers should check their water supply and flush their own pipes by running a backyard tap until the water returns to normal. There may be some trapped air in the house water pipes. The air may cause some splutters and spits as it comes out of the taps. If this happens, run your tap until all the trapped air leaves the pipe. Clearing the pipes of trapped air and dirty water should only take a couple of minutes. To prevent air entering the household water system it is recommended that taps are not opened during the scouring period.
