FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS"
What could cause my tap water to have a rusty color?
Fire hydrant flushing and water main repairs can disturb sediments in water mains, resulting in red or brown-colored tap water.  If you detect red or discolored water, turn on a single COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush any sediment out of your pipes.  While red or discolored water is not a health concern, it can stain laundry.
Where is my main shut-off valve located in my home?
The shut off valve for your home is generally found near your water heater.  If you have a crawl space under your home it is probably located there.  If you live in an apartment you should contact your landlord or apartment manager.
My water is cloudy or white, will this harm me?
No, it is simply small air bubbles trapped in the water.  Let it stand for a moment and the air bubbles will dissipate.
