During the flushing period, customers may experience discolored water and/or a noticeable odor of chlorine in the water. The authority asks residents to be aware that these are all normal conditions, and nothing is wrong with the water.
They say should you experience discolored water during this time, please let your cold-water tap run for several minutes until the water clears up.
