Residents experiencing water changes are asked to run the cold water tap in a sink until it clears.
 
Residents are also reminded to refrain from doing laundry where possible while flushing continues to lessen the likelihood of clothes becoming stained by discoloured water.

The City apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
