    Here in my office in the Junction, the water has suddenly turned brown like ice tea.

    Do we have water main breaks somewhere or just crappy water now?

    Most likely some water-line work is being done up stream from your loaction, which often will jar loose sediment which has to find its wany out of the system somewhere.

    If you have aerators on your faucets you might want to remove and flush them once the water has cleared up.

    That also happens when the Fire Dept flushes the Hydrants out and makes sure they are working

    Yep. What sbre and clark said.

    I had this about 11 days ago, after SFD had put out a relatively minor house fire two doors away.

    I noticed the brown water not too long after that, and presumed it to be from them likely using a hydrant.

    Why would the city water people be pulling manhole covers and pouring dye down them?
