Please call the office and we'll work with you to solve the problem.

Please call our office and report low pressure for your area. We will send a water distribution serviceman out promptly to determine the possible issue.  

Discoloration is usually rust from aging pipes. It is not harmful, but it is aesthetically unpleasant. Home plumbing can cause discoloration of the water, especially if discoloration continues for a period of time. 

 

Discoloration may also be caused by disturbances in the water system. If our water crew has recently been working in your area or shut off service, when water is restored you may notice a reddish, rusty tinge. If this occurs, let the water run for a minute and the discoloration should pass. 

 

If your water comes out cloudy, the discoloration may be caused by microscopic air bubbles trapped by cold temperature. Let the water stand for a minute or so and should clear up on its own.
