(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- A Linn County town is under a boil order this morning.

Residents of Alburnett, north of Cedar Rapids are being told to boil their water because of discoloration in one of the city's wells.

The city has switched to another well, and is flushing the system as a precautionary measure.

Alburnett staff says water may remain discolored as hydrants are flushed to clear the system, but officials stress that the color doesn't indicate danger.
