Thank you for your patience during this time.

The following suggestions will help avoid problems with discolored water:

Customers with systems sensitive to PRESSURE such as Fire Sprinklers may experience temporary fluctuations that may cause an alarm condition.
Check for discolored water before doing laundry.
If you have discolored water, wait 15 minutes and run the cold faucets. This will allow time for the discolored water in the main to pass your house.
Avoid using bleach in laundry, as this worsens the staining.
In the event clothes are stained, do not dry stained clothing.

Further questions call Customer Service at Pennichuck Water (800) 553-5191
