A water main break in Northwest Portland caused water tap to be discolored throughout the area.
A 16-inch pipe broke near Northwest 29th and Yeon.
The rush of water through the pipes stirs up sediment that causes the discoloration. The water was safe to drink.
Water was turned off to 15 properties near the break while the pipe was being repaired.
The line was fixed by Sunday and water service was restored.
