If you live in Baden and noticed discoloured water on Friday, construction is being blamed.

On Friday afternoon, the Township of Wilmot said parts of Baden were dealing with water discolouration.

The township pointed to construction activities in the area.

The work is expected to continue through Friday and resume on Monday.

While the township said the water is still safe to drink and bathe in, residents may want to hold off on doing any laundry until the weekend.
