Active Alerts

Customers may temporarily experience discolored water in portions of the Inner Sunset, Western Addition, Haight Ashbury, and West of Twin Peaks starting Friday December 17th through end of day Monday December 20th.

Because of SFPUC water department operational activities, crews are moving water between pressure zones. This might temporarily stir up sediment in the pipelines and cause dirty or discolored water. If your tap water is discolored, let the COLD water tap closest to your meter, or the sidewalk, run for 3 to 5 minutes. If the water does not run clear, turn the tap off. Try again in one hour. Learn more about water discoloration.

Your tap water continues to meet water quality standards and is safe to drink. Please call 311 with complaints or questions.
