Aquarion said discoloration can occur when naturally occurring minerals inside water pipes are disturbed during the cleaning process. Customers who notice discolored water are advised to run a cold-water faucet until the water clears before using it normally. The company also recommends delaying laundry until the discoloration is gone to avoid staining clothing.
