What if my water looks brown in color or cloudy?
The water that runs from your faucet or shower may occasionally become discolored due to water main breaks or testing fire hydrants. Do not be alarmed if your water is suddenly discolored. This water is still safe to drink. The discoloration is caused by an unusually high sediment content, which results from sudden changes in the system. When the cause of the problem is corrected, the sediments will be removed from the system. Notify the Public Works Secretary that there is a problem by calling (512) 556-8315 Monday - Friday between 7:00am and 4:00pm, or (512) 556-6235 at the Police Department after normal business hours.
