My water is discolored. What causes the discoloration and what should I do?
Discolored water is usually caused by a water main break or the operation of a fire hydrant. If your water is discolored, we recommend that you run the cold water from your faucet until the water clears. If by chance your laundry develops rust stains from the discolored water, the Fire Dept. can provide an additive to help remove the stains.
