Those who wish to use tap water for drinking or cooking in the meantime are encouraged to bring the water to rolling boil for at least two minutes. Also, you advised against drawing any hot or warm water from the tap, because doing so will draw sediment into the hot water tank, which will require it to be flushed.

The Water Authority also reminds customers that it's possible you'll permanently stain your clothes if you use the washing machine with cloudy or discolored water.
