If discolored water occurs, it is not a health hazard. However, during any flushing procedures, iron (red water) and manganese (black water) may become stirred up within the water main, which can create staining on the porcelain and laundry. For this reason it is vital that the public
be aware of the time and area that will be affected.

If there are any Water Quality questions,
please contact water quality at the numbers listed.
