EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Dona Ana County Fire Rescue, in conjunction with the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA,) will conduct periodic hydrant flushes/testing during the month of June in the unincorporated areas of Santa Teresa, including the residential area and industrial district, the water utility announced.
Discolored water may result from the disturbance of naturally ocurring minerals in the distribution system, CRRUA said.
Although the water is safe to drink, CRRUA recommends waiting for the water to become clear before washing laundry.
The discoloration should disappear within 24 hours. If it does not, flush faucets for several minutes, CRRUA said.
