Bushfires and water tanks

Fast facts:

Bushfire smoke, debris and fires suppressants can contaminate your tank water.
If the water from your tank looks, smells or tastes unusual, assume it’s contaminated.
Don’t use your tank water for drinking, washing or preparing food or making ice until it’s been cleaned and refilled with clean water.
You can use the contaminated water to flush toilets, or for cleaning.
