FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Residents in southeast Clovis are complaining after finding discolored water coming out of their taps.

The City of Clovis says the discoloration is because the hot weather has led to a sudden increase in the demand for water.

It says crews are flushing the water lines in the affected areas but the water is safe to drink.
