closed: Resolved #213955

Water Utility Problems:

Other: Our tap water is brown. Is a crew working in our neighborhood or is there another reason our water would be this color? FYI- this just started. I ran a bucket of clean water, but the next 5 buckets all look like the attached photo.

The discoloration is related to seasonal conditions in Monroe Reservoir and naturally occurring manganese in the source water. Customers seeing discoloration should run cold water for several minutes and replace household filters more frequently if needed. The water is safe for use and your address has been added to our list for flushing. Please visit the city press release for more information at https://bloomington.in.gov/news/2026/09/08/6643 or email [email protected] with questions.
