April 9 Water Main Break: Some services in the area may experience dirty water, due to agitation of sediment in the water mains
Water Main Break Update: Some services in the area may experience discolored water, due to agitation of sediment in the water main. In most cases the water will clear on its own within two hours or less. If your water is discolored:
- Use the water to flush toilets, but avoid running the water through filters, hot water heaters, and washing machines.
- Wait an hour for the system to settle, then run water at one tap for up to five minutes to see if it clears. If it does not clear, wait another hour and try again. When the water runs clear, run water throughout the house to flush any sediment that may have been drawn into your pipes.
