[Durham INC] Others had brown water over past few days?

> I am wondering if over the past few days if others ... have had brown water in their bathroom sinks? I have noticed that brown water has happened in the past. I realize that this may be due to the city's flushing out our water system.

I understand when brown water is due to an emergency situation and in these cases that time would not permit for people to be informed in advance. Ideally I would like for someone from city government to send out a press releases to the newspapers and perhaps also circulate the information to the impacted neighborhoods' list serves.
