Ministry of Health Public Health Notice - March 2018

Published: 26 June 2018

Some older plumbing fittings have the potential to allow minute traces of metals to accumulate in water standing in fittings for several hours.

Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health recommends that you flush a mugful of water from your drinking-water tap each morning before use to remove any metals that may have dissolved from plumbing fittings.

We are recommending this simple precaution for all households, including those on public and private water supplies.

Director - General Health
