[ARCHIVED] CITIZENS MAY EXPERIENCE “RED WATER” AS A RESULT OF EXCESS WATER USED TO FIGHT STRUCTURAL FIRES

In the last few weeks, the City of Douglas has experienced several fires. The Fire Department has used fire hydrants in the neighborhoods to combat the fires and as a result, citizens may experience discoloration of their water, known as Red Water. If you turn on water and notice a cloudy, rust colored appearance, please make sure you run water until it runs clear to remove any rust build up in the waterline, especially before using water for washing or cooking.

For more information, please call 311 or 912-384-3302, or the Water Department at 912-389-3444.
