Some Stafford residents may see discolored yellowish water coming from their taps.
According to a Stafford release, the water is safe to drink and will not cause any problems, and there is no need to boil it first. But the county is asking that residents refrain from doing laundry because it could stain clothing.
Stafford County stated that the discoloration is because of a high level of manganese – which happens naturally – at the Lake Mooney Reservoir. The reason for the higher levels of manganese is the recent heavy rains, said Stafford spokeswoman Shannon Howell.
