## Resource

Lynchburg’s water looks murky in some neighborhoods—but it’s still safe to drink. The discoloration stems from a recent repair of a broken raw water line, which temporarily forced the city to switch to the James River as a source. The change in water temperature and composition stirred up old scale in the pipes, causing the brownish tint. Repairs are complete, and officials expect the issue to clear up within a day or two. Residents can help by running cold water for a few minutes to flush out any lingering particles. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
