When I get brown water, normally there was water main break. I would try in a little while. If it is still brown, I would not drink it. They say to boil it.

I don't think you are suppose to flush if it is a water main break.

Re: brown water

If it was a water main break, you probably wouldnt even be getting enough pressure to run the water. I would let it run a while and see if it gets clearer. I'd probably also just boil the water too, to be safe.

Run it a while but don't drink until you hear further.

That happens when our water is turned off. Let it run, and you are not supposed to drink it for 24 hours then you should be fine.
