Any food businesses without water will be required to cease the handling of open foods whilst there is no supply of water. This is due to the inability to effectively maintain food safety controls and comply with hygiene laws.

Those food businesses selling packaged food may continue to trade as long as hand sanitiser is used to replace the use of water and soap. Updates on the situation can be viewed here. The affected areas are indicated in the image on the right.
