“We have guarantees and warranties on pipes and things,” said Powell.
Powell said if you notice cloudy or rusty water from your faucets, call Dayton water and avoid washing clothes “Keep your clothes wet and then they can obtain some product called Reb-B-Gone from the 3 distribution centers that we had located within the city,” Powell said.
