Our water has been brown for a couple of days. Is it safe? Will this be remedied soon?
Just like other people have reported, our water is brown/green. I want to make sure it's safe.
We've started to notice our cold water running a light yellow color.
Water quality has gotten extremely bad the last week. We (Starbucks store #02387) monitor our water filtration system regularly and normally need to change the filter every 3-4 months (filters are rated to last up to 6 months but they ask us to change them once they become "latte colored"). Saturday 6/28, we found that our water filter was nearly completely black despite being only 1 month old. We changed the filter on Sunday 6/29 and within 24 hours it had already turned "latte colored" (tan). By Tuesday 7/1, it had already turned a dark brown and we had our water filtration system contractor Icee come out and check over the system, run a refresh, and change all changeable parts. Today, Saturday 7/5, the filter is back to being a dark brown color. We are concerned about what is in the water coming through our system and for those around us consuming tap water.
Cold Tap water is brown, ran for few minutes with no change.
Our tap water is coming out of our sink with considerably less pressure than normal, and is an opaque white color. The water clears up in a few minutes and there is no lasting sediment, but it's happening with cold and hot water which is not normal for our house. We've recently had a snow plow get stuck on the fire hydrant outside of our home - not sure if that would be connected at all to this problem as the hydrant doesn't appear damaged. Thanks for looking into it!
Cold water from tap faucet coming out brown/yellow. Glass on left from tap, glass on right from fridge (filtered).
I live in Brandywine Ct in Bloomington and have had a disgusting smell in my water for the last 4-5 days. It smells like dirt and it tastes like dirt. From what I have read, this is because of algae blooms in Lake Monroe. Except all information says it happens every summer and fall. It's February and freezing cold. Why is this happening now? Any ide how long this will last? I just paid a fortune for dispensers and Brita Elite filters one week before this started. The Elite filters do nothing to remove the smell or taste. Just the thought of why the lake smells so bad is nauseating. This day and age, there has to be something available to eliminate the disgusting smell and taste. We can't drink bottled water because of pfas and pfos. So what are we left with? Expensive water bottled in glass. Who can afford that on an ongoing basis? Honestly, you cannot expect people to drink that disgusting water.
Sunday night I noticed a bad taste change in our drinking water. Others have noticed as well. I’m sure others have complained and I am aware of different source, but this is unacceptable. I have always been pleased with the water in the past but our water filter doesn’t even take this foul taste out of it. This needs to be taken care of immediately. Thank you
