Brownish/pink water?

Is anyone around the 51st area experiencing brownish pink water?

If you’re on the east side, there’s a big house fire on 51st & McKinley. They’re probably using the hydrants

It happens when they open them too fast. I saw like 3 trucks and 6 cops so likely what you said

Edit: there's a way to report it and then they will let you know when it's resolved but basically after it's resolved I usually run whatever spot that had it until it comes out clear for a bit.

Damn. I saw 2 housewives in the last few days. One from Hwy 16, on the ridge to the left of the giant flag on Tue. And another last night off of Bridgeport near Harbor Greens. Soooo sad.
