A water main break on the east side of Flint that happened Tuesday night, might affect the color of the drinking water in that area.

City crews started work immediately on the 24 inch water main break, but it may take longer than originally expected.  The size and location of the break is causing some issues for the repair crew.

While the repairs are being done, residents on the east side of Flint may notice some discoloration in their water.  Officials say that simply running the tap for a few minutes should clear up the problem.

With all of the issues that Flint residents have had with their water this year, I doubt anyone will take that simple solution to heart.
