Flushing operations may lead to discolored water, which is caused by minerals being dislodged from the water main. Please make sure water is clear before doing any laundry, or using the water for any other projects that could be affected by discolored water. If discoloration occurs, open a cold tap to full flow until the water runs clear. In some situations this may take 5 to 10 minutes.
