Little Rock officials warn of 'discolored' water due to I-30 bridge

Officials are warning customers of the potential for 'discolored water' as they make the switch to a new main water transmission constructed in the new I-30 bridge.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Little Rock officials are warning customers of the potential for 'discolored water' as they make the switch to a new main water transmission constructed in the new I-30 bridge.

The warning applies to Central Arkansas Water customers, more specifically to those in downtown Little Rock and downtown North Little Rock. The "potential of discolored water" lasts over the next few days as officials make the transition. 

"Anytime large valves are operated or water flow within transmission mains changes, there is the potential for discolored water," officials said in a release. "The water is safe, and the discoloration can usually be cleared up by running your faucet for a few minutes. It is recommended that you do not wash clothes in discolored water."

Workers said that customers who have questions can contact them at 501-377-1239.
