Water main flushing began Monday in Bancroft and is expected to take up to seven days to complete.
The Town says this is designed to remove sediment accumulation within the water mains in order to maintain good water quality.
They also say this could result in temporarily discoloured water and lower than normal water pressure.
According to the Town, these are normal results and if they occur, they recommend running cold tap water until the water is clear.
They also note that people should avoid doing laundry with discoloured water.
