(Update: 5/8/26, 3:30 p.m.) We are aware of reports of discolored water in parts of East Haven, Branford and New Haven. We are working to resolve the issue. While discolored water is not typically harmful if you consume it inadvertently, we recommend against drinking, cooking or washing with it until it clears. If you have discolored water, run ALL cold-water taps for 10 minutes to flush your system. If it does not clear, report it to us. For more about temporarily discolored water, click here.
