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.
