Why is the water a “rusty” color?
This usually occurs when there has been a watermain break, valve turning, or hydrant flushing. The color does not affect the safety of the water, it is safe to drink and cook with. Allow your faucet to run for a few minutes until the water runs clear. If after some time your water remains discolored, call the Village Hall at (708) 503-7702 for more information. We advise that you be cautious when washing your “white” laundry as they may stain. In the event that you do experience discolored water at the same time as you were doing your “white” laundry, please stop by Village Hall for a free complimentary bottle of rust remover for the wash. Remember to leave the articles wet for proper stain removal.
