What this means for your taps

A reservoir that is running low keeps supplying water, but at weaker pressure - taps may run slow, and higher-lying streets or evening peak times can see little to no water until levels recover. It is worth keeping a few litres stored; if your area sees this often, a backup tank or booster pump is worth pricing.
