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.

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?

ewwwww. I'd say to try that filter system, but I'd just keep buying it until you can move. I'd hate to know what all was in there. We love our well water!

Theboy has a wrestling tournament this Saturday. His first one. It'll be fun to watch little kids trying to pin another kid to the mat. :-)
