During the program , residents within or adjacent to the project area may experience a temporary reduction in water pressure and cloudy or rusty colored water . Although the discolored water is safe and does not pose a health concern , residents are encouraged to check their water prior to doing laundry or other home projects in which discolored water could be a problem . Should residents experience discolored water; they are advised to run cold water through a non - aerated faucet , such as a bathtub or outdoor water spigot , for five to ten minutes until the water becomes clear .
