CWWA is pleased to release these two new guidance documents related to COVID-19 and the re-opening of buildings. We trust you will find them very relevant and helpful in your efforts to work with your local building owners and operators.
Part One is a General Guidance for Water Utilities (https://cwwa.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Re-Opening-Buildings-PARTONE_FINAL.pdf) and provides:
- advice on steps to take to prepare for increased flushing
- recommendations for distributing information to building owners
- guidance on communicating with the public and media – Use these as Speaking Notes for your Mayor and Council
Part Two is a FACT SHEET for Building Owners/Operators which:
- is intended for public distribution to building owners and operators
- provides general instruction for flushing and cleaning water systems
- directs to more detailed resources and guidance
Make this your own!
- This can go out as it is, but Utilities are encouraged to adapt this FACT SHEET to make it their own
- Add your own name and logo with ours or just use this as a basis for your own fact sheet. Honestly, we don’t care as long as the message is getting out there!
- Add any local direction that you can such as chlorine residual levels, temperatures
- Add local contacts and resources for your utility, local public health authority and provincial/territorial legislation
- We are distributing this in a ready-to-go pdf format as well as in MS Word so you can edit and adapt

We do hope you find these documents timely and helpful. More COVID-19 resources are available on our website at www.cwwa.ca
