Water

[bobquasit]

Our water has been coming in dark brown today. There's no smell, but what appears to be silt is settling in the toilet.

Maybe they're cleaning out the pipes, which has happened before - although it has never made the water quite as brown as this. Or, it's possible that a water line has burst under our foundation. In which case, we're probably in a lot of trouble.

The water - ah, I just spoke to someone at the Water Department. There's a huge fire nearby, another old mill complex burning down. So it's not our pipes after all. What a relief!

another good reason to use bottled water for drinking and cooking.

Too bad about the mill complex burning down; I rather like old buildings even if they're a bit decrepit. Well, not to live in, of course.
