What to do or expect:
Discoloured Tap Water
Discoloured water is still safe water. Sedimentation (usually iron deposits in the metal pipes) occurs as a normal part of the water distribution system.
If your water is discoloured, flush your pipes as follows:
- Turn on the cold water tap that is closest to your water meter.
- Let it run until the water turns clear. This may take 5-25 minutes.
