I live on the west side and the City is flushing hydrants on the east side. How come my water is discolored?

Sometimes residents who live beyond the limits of the area where hydrant flushing is currently
being performed, may notice rust-colored water. This can occur because the opening of a hydrant
can cause water run in the opposite direction than normal. Water Department personnel use
techniques intended to minimize these impacts.
