"This discoloration results from the temporary disturbance of the water flow, which stirs up naturally occurring minerals that settle in water mains," the company said in a statement.
Aquarion recommends customers store water in their refrigerators for drinking and cooking, and refrain from washing laundry if the water is discolored. Customers should also run their cold water faucets until the water appears clear before using again.
