This episodeSafe Water Harvesting and Storage Practices
Summary
<p>The Environmental Health Division within the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition urges the public to conserve water and ensure that all water harvesting and storage practices are carried out safely, in light of the current dry conditions and the increasing risk of water supply shortages on island. This is necessary to ensure the protection of the health of the population. </p>
<p>Members of the public who engage in the practice of water harvesting are advised to ensure that roof gutters and downpipes used to collect rainwater are kept clean and free of debris, bird droppings and other contaminants. Also, to reduce bacteria and other contaminants, they are encouraged to employ a first-flush system on roof gutters and downpipes. In addition, water storage containers including drums, buckets and tanks should be covered or fitted with tight-fitting lids or screens to prevent vector breeding; particularly mosquitoes and rats.</p>
