They are flushing hydrants in my area and my water turned brown! Is this water safe?

Water Quality
Your water is safe. In the spring, the Utilities Operations team will begin fire hydrant flushing
throughout the city for approximately five weeks. During the flushing operation, city of
Thornton water customers may experience cloudy or rust-colored water from the tap. This effect
should go away after a few hours. The water is safe to drink during this time.
