The Water Authority has shared some safety tips for householders as the Cayman Islands recovers from the passage of Tropical Storm Grace.
Persons should inspect their homes for any damaged pipes or leaking faucets, especially if there are any uprooted trees. Even small leaks can consume large quantities of water.
The public are asked to report any broken or damaged water mains to the Water Authority by leaving a message on the emergency helpline number 946-HELP (4357).
Persons should avoid contact with standing water and floodwater, to prevent exposure to health risks, chemical hazards and injuries.
