Rusty water

Water may occasionally become discolored or rusty due to water main breaks, damage to a fire hydrant, or after water mains are flushed. These problems usually show up in your home as discolored or rusty water from your faucet or shower.

This water merely contains sediments and rust due to sudden changes in pressure in the system. Do not drink this water. Do not wash clothes because the rust may cause stains.

If your water is rusty or discolored, or if your laundry shows signs of rust stains, call the Water Resources Department at 562-866-9771.
