Residents have reported brown tap water, which utilities attribute to debris being flushed into a city lake due to flooding. The flooding, which occurred from June to July, stirred up debris in the lake, causing the discoloration.

Tests have shown that the water meets standards set by the TCEQ and EPA, indicating it is safe to use. However, the brown color may persist for several weeks.

Further information on the situation is available, but it is known that the water has been deemed safe despite its appearance. The discoloration is expected to be temporary, although it may take some time to resolve.
