What to do if you have discolored water? You should start by flushing your cold water lines. It is recommended to start flushing your water lines with an outside water spigot if you have one or a faucet without a screen. Run the water until clear, then move into the lowest floors in your home or business, turning on each faucet one at a time until the water is clear, then move to the upper floors and repeat the process. You should also flush your refrigerator's water lines. It is also recommended not to use discolored water to do laundry because your clothes can become stained.
