If discoloration is detected, we recommend running the cold water closest to the meter (outside faucet or bath tub) for at least 10 minutes or until the water clears. If sediment is in the water, do not run any water for approximately 30 minutes, giving the water time to settle. If an emergency arises, and water is needed, it is not harmful to consume.
