Stanford residents may see discolored tap water over the next month, but it will still be safe to drink, the Stanford Water Department said Monday.
The possible discoloration would come from a routine flushing of the water mains to remove built up sediment, a department spokeswoman said. A loss in water pressure may also result during the flushing.
“We suggest you refrain from doing projects (laundry) that may be impacted by temporary sediments in the water while the water lines are being flushed in your particular area,” the department said in a statement. Flushing is set to take place from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. on specified dates.
Most Row houses are set to be affected Feb. 23-25, east and west campus dorms Mar. 1-4 and Mirrielees Mar. 22-23.
