What do I do if my water is discolored?
Should a reddish, yellow, or brown tint in the water appear, do not be alarmed. It is recommended you do not use the water or do laundry for about two hours. After you have waited, run your faucets for a few minutes to make sure the water is clear at which time you resume normal water use - it is suggested to wash a load of dark clothes first. If pressure or volume seems low, check your faucet screens for trapped debris. If the water does not clear within a few hours, please notify the Public Works Department at
717-738-9242.
