Note about water service replacements: It is normal for the water to be cloudy or rusty immediately after replacement. If it is cloudy, this is most likely due to air trapped in the water. Let the water set and if it clears up, it is just air and the water will clear up in a few days. If it is rusty or discolored, run the cold water in a bath tub or other faucet that doesn’t have an aerator (screen) in the spigot. Run the water until it is clear. Remove and clean any aerators in faucet spigots.
