How to ensure safe water in rainwater catchments?
· Clean the tank and entrance pipe before the rainy season. · Place a filter or screen over the tank to keep out insects, leaves and dirt. · Place a sealed cover over the tank to keep the water clean and prevent mosquitoes from breeding. · Make sure that water is taken out through taps only and not by buckets or other containers dipped into the tank, · Allow the first rainfall of the season to run through the tank without being used.
