Customers May Experience Discolored Water Near Indian Hills Neighborhood

Customers living in, or near, the Indian Hills neighborhood may experience discolored water as the City of Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) works to flush a newly installed water main line.

To assist in clearing water lines, customers who experience discolored water should run cold water from a hose or faucet.  Begin with the lowest faucet in your home and then open the other faucets one at a time, moving from the lowest floor to the highest.  Avoid using hot water or doing laundry while the water is discolored to prevent sediment and minerals from being drawn into water heaters or from coming into contact with clothing. While the discolored water is not Cheyenne’s usual standard for water quality, the water is safe. The BOPU apologizes for any inconvenience.
