In its monthly voluntary discolored water report, the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) received two customer calls for discolored water in September 2025. Water was clear at point of entry for both locations. 

Discolored water calls include brown or yellow water. Causes include water line breaks, water wells returning to service and hydrant flushes that disturb naturally occurring sediments that accumulate in the distribution system over time, and issues within the dwelling associated with water heaters, water softeners and water filtration systems.
