An emergency water main repair may cause residents living in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland to see discolored water over the next couple of days.
The City says the water is safe to drink and use as normal. However, customers should refrain from doing laundry is they noticed their water is discolored.
There is no boil alert in effect.
Any discoloration is a result of a 54-inch steel transmission main being shut down for emergency repairs on Highland Georgetown Road in Euclid. Discoloration comes from iron particles being stirred up because of a sudden change of direction in water flow, as a result of diverting water to supplemental mains within the system.
Crews are working to make repairs and to monitor for discoloration.
If you experience discoloration, you should contact Cleveland Water's 24 Hour Emergency Dispatch Line at 216-664-3060.
