Instructions for residents:
When the water is turned back on, you may find it to be slightly discoloured or "milky.”


Discoloured Water:
The discolouration is from iron and manganese that are naturally occurring in the
groundwater. When the mains are flushed, or there is a change in pressure from events
such as a fire or a watermain break, the iron and manganese that has settled in the
distribution system can be stirred up. To eliminate the discoloured water, turn on a cold
water tap nearest your water meter and let it flush slowly for several minutes until it runs
clear.


Milky water:
If your water is "milky,” it has air in it. You can turn on a cold water tap at the highest
point in your home and let it run slowly for a few minutes until the air is gone.
