CORRECTION: This article has been updated to reflect that the Lansing School District tested cloudy water at Everett High School and is awaiting results. An earlier version was incorrect.

LANSING — Everett High School students are relying on bottled water after officials found discolored water flowing from several sources at the school. 

The district's operations department was alerted to the problem after discolored water was reported to be coming from drinking fountains "late last week," according to information posted to the school's website Monday.

Nearby construction work led to the discolored water coming from several Everett water sources, said Lansing School District spokesman Bob Kolt.

He did not share any immediate health concerns. 

"We have smart students," he said, in a text message. "So to the best of our knowledge they did not drink the discolored water."

School officials tested the water and await results, Kolt said. The water lines were flushed and some water fountains were removed, while new filters are being installed as and new fountains are being positioned, he said.

Bottled water is available for students and staff through a partnership with SodexoMagic, a food service and facilities management company. 

"The issue is almost completely fixed," Kolt said.
