The Auburn Fire Department has begun its annual hydrant flushing, a routine process that may temporarily discolor water in some areas over the next few weeks.
Officials advise residents not to be alarmed if their tap water appears discolored during this period. Running the water until it clears is recommended. The discoloration is a common effect of flushing and does not pose a health risk.
Residents with water quality concerns are encouraged to contact the Water Department at (315) 255-4180 or the Water Filtration Plant at (315) 253-8754.
