While this can be alarming, brown water is typically caused by harmless sediment or minerals that have been disturbed within the water distribution system, often due to routine maintenance, flushing activities, or changes in water flow such as increased usage or nearby construction. We recommend that customers who notice water discoloration run their cold water for several minutes until it clears. If discoloration persists, please contact Bladen County Water District at 910-862-6996 bcwater@bladenco.org so we can investigate further. Our team is actively taking steps and monitoring the situation.
