Some residents of Coal Grove are likely to see discolored water after the repair of a two-inch water line on Sunset Drive.

Discolored water is common after a sudden change in the flow of water in the line.

If your water is discolored, try running the cold water at the lowest pressure five to ten minutes to clear out your plumbing.

If this does not clear up the problem, wait about an hour and repeat.

The village also suggests cleaning the screen on your faucets.

Avoid running the hot water. This will minimize getting discolored water into the hot water tank.

Please delay doing laundry until the water has cleared. Fabrics can be stained by discolored water. If you used your washer before realizing the water was discolored, and then noticed the laundry was stained, you should not dry the clothes.

Instead, please come to the Townhouse and they can give you a packet of “Red-B-Gone,” a laundry additive that takes discoloration out of clothing.

This repair did not require a boil water advisory to be issued.
