New meter installation can cause water discoloration
Some residents have reported dirty water after their new digital water meters were installed. When a new meter is installed, the township recommends customers first run water from an outside spigot or a lower level faucet to avoid the dirt coming out of main fixtures, if possible.
In any event, running water for about 15 minutes should clear the water.
One customer recommended checking outside faucets and possible running toilets following the installation, as well.
