Step 1 — right now

Do this before you do anything else

This costs nothing and doesn’t need us. It’s the difference between a mop and an insurance claim.

  1. 1

    Check with a neighbour

    If they’re out too, it’s a mains outage — Sydney Water’s outage page will confirm it and there’s nothing a plumber can fix.

  2. 2

    Check the tap at your water meter

    Front boundary, beside the meter. If it’s been turned off — by a contractor, or by someone in the house — turn it anticlockwise. Open it slowly; a fast open sends a pressure surge through the house.

  3. 3

    Check for a burst before you go looking further

    Walk the property for wet ground or the sound of running water. A large break upstream can drop pressure to nothing.

Step 2 — what it probably is

The usual causes, in plain English

  • Mains supply interruption

    A planned or emergency Sydney Water outage. Nothing to repair.

  • A closed or failed meter tap

    They seize, and they get closed and forgotten after other work.

  • A failed pressure pump

    On acreage properties around Dural and Kenthurst running tank water, no flow usually means the pump or pressure vessel, not the plumbing.

Still wondering

Common questions

Check whether neighbours have water, and check Sydney Water’s outage page. If the whole street is out it’s theirs to fix. If it’s only you, it’s on your side of the meter.

Opening it fast sends a pressure surge through the house that can cause water hammer or, on older pipework, burst a weakened joint. Ease it open over a few seconds.
