Due to the age of the equipment, the plumbers have been delayed fetching different sized connectors.

The valve is ready to be connected once they return, eta 30 minutes.

Thursday 20th March
10:30am
Approx 1 hour

The mains water valve at the front of the building is scheduled for replacement.

This will necessitate shutting off water to the whole building for approximately 1 hour.

Updates will be posted here in the event of any delays.

Contact Reeve at 0467444074 with any questions or concerns.
