City Responds to Uptick in Discolored Water Calls

SANTA FE, July 7, 2022 — The City of Santa Fe in recent weeks has received about five-times more discolored water calls than usual – this means that of our 36,000 utility accounts, approximately 200 customers are experiencing issues with water color. Discolored water can happen for a variety of reasons (hydrant flushing, water line break, source water chemistry, oxidizing minerals, etc.). Our Utilities team is aware of the concerns, is responding to all calls, and has modified operations to help pinpoint the root cause.
