Possible discolored water (yellow/brown) could come out of the tap in the area outlined above. The discoloration is attributed to the valve operations, change of flow or pressure. If you have discolored water, run your cold tap water until it clears. If the problem persists, you can file a 311 service request for DEP to follow up.
