Water coloring - High water use during watering

Important Notice

We're getting a high volume of calls about discolored water.

We've identified the cause:

  • High use of drinking water for watering the lawn and garden, during the authorize periods.
  • This increases pressure in the water pipes and can lead to sediment detaching from the lines.
  • We recommend running cold water from your bathtub for a few minutes until its color returns to normal. You can also unscrew the faucet tip and clean the aerators.
  • F.A.Q.: https://reip.ca/questions-frequentes/

Your help is important.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
