Bring water to a boil by heating until a continuous and rapid stream of air-bubbles is produced from the bottom of a pan or kettle. Kettles with automatic cut-off switches are suitable and variable temperature kettles should be set to boil. After heating, water must be allowed to cool before using it, and be stored in a clean, closed container for later use.
You should boil all water used for:
- drinking
- brushing teeth
- washing and preparing food or beverages
- preparing baby formula
- making ice
- bathing babies and toddlers.
Unboiled water may be used for:
- showering and bathing (avoid getting water in your mouth)
- washing dishes by hand or in a dishwasher
- washing clothes
- flushing toilets
