Re-Opening Buildings After Prolonged Closure or Reduced Occupancy

When buildings are closed or on low occupancy for any prolonged period, water in the building becomes stagnant and can pose serious health risks. While municipal utilities are responsible to get clean, safe drinking water to each property, it is the responsibility of each property owner to ensure it maintains the safety of that water within their building.  

This fact sheet provides reference information and more detailed guidance to safely re-open buildings after prolonged closure or reduced occupancy.
