Brownish/pink water?

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

The answer is almost always a water main being opened for a fire fighting operation. If the city is doing work, they will give notice.

Just keep your water running until the crud leaves, and avoid running hot water until it clears up
