Talquin says those in the affected areas may experience discolored tap water due to shifting sediments in the water main and washing clothes with discolored water may tint or stain garments.

They advise customers to allow water to boil for one minute and let it cool before using it for drinking or cooking purposes.

Talquin also advised to run water from a bathtub faucet or an outside spigot to assure that water has been flushed before operating appliances. Water should settle before drinking if sediment is present in the water.
