While the situation is back to normal, the city is asking residents in the affected area to flush their hot and cold water pipes — including their water heaters.
The same applies for outdoor faucets and kitchen appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers.Any water filters should also be changed. The city’s website suggests residents let the water run for at least 20 minutes or until it is clear and colourless and to ensure no soap odour is present.Health officials wanted people to steer clear from ingesting the tap water as harmful chemicals were detected in the water system.Some of the extinguishing agent, F500, a product commonly used by firefighters, had somehow seeped into the local water.
