Just like other people have reported, our water is brown/green. I want to make sure it's safe.
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.
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.
Our water has had a sudden change in taste and odor. It literally tastes likes dirt.
No water pressure for 3 weeks. 750 s water st. Maple court lot 91
Our water pressure has been slightly less for about a week or so, is this normal? or is it a local issue? The water functions ok, but seems to be only about 3/4 the usual water pressure.
I think my water meter is frozen. I have heated up the crawlspace for most of the day today and put space heaters in bathroom and by kitchen sink but still no water flow.
