Brown water in Morgan Junction

Latest report of brown water is from Aaron in Morgan Junction. As always, if this happens to you, call it in to Seattle Public Utilities, 206-386-1800, even if you think someone else in your area has reported it. The discoloration is usually sediment – mostly rust – stirred up in the pipes by unusual activity, from hydrant testing to firefighting to a line break. (No recent reports of the latter two in West Seattle, though sometimes brown water brings the first word of a break.)

    Thanks for reporting this! We saw the brown water in our tap and figured to check the blog. Will report to SPU as well.

    Same here, 38th and Hanford. Brown water all afternoon. I called and they said fire department tested hydrants in the area.
