The water looks clear. Is it safe?
Appearance cannot answer that.
Water that entered from outside or backed up from a drain or sewer may carry contamination that is not obvious. Where the water came from, what it contacted and how long materials have been wet all affect the cleanup plan.
If sewage or water of unknown origin may be involved, keep people and pets away. Avoid walking through the affected area or starting cleanup before the conditions are assessed.
