Shut off your water mains – In the event of an unlikely water emergency when you are away, it is recommended to shut off the water supply, this will ensure nothing is water damaged when you return home, plus you will save water bills. 

Turn off the taps For many household appliances throughout Sydney it is normal to leave the tap valves on at all times, dishwashers and washing machines generally operate this way. Over your holiday you don’t want any damage during the time your away, turn the taps off and turn the power for the appliances off also.
