    Some residents in Corner Brook may notice changes in their water, like low pressure and discoloration.  This is due to the city’s annual flushing program which started this week in the Riverside Drive and all side roads, Humber East including Humber Road and all side roads, Humber Heights and all side roads - excluding Murphy’s Square.  If you do have discoloration, run your cold water tap until the water runs clear.
