You're not the only one
I really believe now since HairoftheDog and ecurbh got married and now Talondj and JenB are engaged that this would be the place to meet "Mr Wright" if you know what I mean? ;o)
Yeah...it's gross. I hate to even bathe in it, when it's really really brown.
But that black was alarming! It wasn't a lot, it just gushed out black for a second...
We just live in an old part of town with old pipes. I suspect that because of the drought, the ground heaved during that cold snap and caused the release of the black sediment. It coincided with that cold weather and there were ruptured pipes all over Tulsa due to the ground heaving.
LOL!
You guys are fast!
Well the brown is probably just rust... if you let it run, it should clear.
I've never been on a city water supply, always wells, I guess I just expected city water supplies would be more filtered and checked, and ~fixed~ when it got like that.
I can't blame ya there. Shouldn't the city fix that?
New subject... Cartman just yakked up a hairball the size of a rodent.
LOL Pippin.
And if you wait long enough, we'll get back to the original topic sooner or later. :-D
LOL!
I take it cartman is a cat?
Sometimes they have to really treat the water for bacteria and such...like with chlorine...and then the by-product of the breakdown of the chlorine can be in excess of what is allowed and that is a known carcinogen. OT and OB probably know what that stuff is called...I can't remember off the top of my head.
So getting the letter in the mail saying they've failed the standard for that test is not something I like to get.
I'm sure the brown is just rust and the black is just old pipe sediment...but still...I don't wanna drink it! Heh heh!
Brown Water!
You'd think.
I ain't holdin' my breath. Heh.
Well the rust ought to be high in iron ;~D
I wouldn't want to drink it if it's got rust and dirt from the pipes!
This is nothing. At our best, we discuss half a dozen topics at once.
You're far more patient then I am, sis. I'd be on that phone complaining until they fixed it.
That or find some kind of filtration system I could have installed so the water is cleaned up before it comes out of any faucets in the house.
It would eventually pay for itself if you didn't have to buy bottled water anymore. Or that would be my logic, at least.
Hmmmm....black water. At the water treatment plant, they had water mixed with carbon as part of the treatment process....
