	Tap water color
		Unusual water flows are commonly caused by a broken water main, the Water Board repairing/replacing a water main, a fire hydrant being knocked off its base due to an automobile accident, or by someone operating a fire hydrant nearby.
		Water that is being discolored by rusty pipes is not a health hazard, however, it is an indication that pipes are corroding and they can eventually begin leaking.
		The water is discolored at all of the water faucets on the property and does not clear or improve after the water has been run for several minutes.

	Brown Water Audit Report
		Brown uses an average of eight hundred thousand gallons of water a day, an amount greater than the volume of the swimming pool in the Smith Swim Center.
		Furthermore, one of the problems with paying for and studying Brown's water use (and surely one of the larger problems facing an auditor) is that some of the meters on campus are inaccessible.
		Brown's use will probably be comparable; while it does not air condition the dorms, the medical and laboratory buildings place a heavy load on the cooling towers.

	Water Quality - Solutions to Common Problems
		Muddy brown water occurs when harmless river silt particles in our unfiltered water supply, which typically settle along the bottom of water mains, are stirred up by high flows of water.
		The thin film is the micro-particles in the water, the odor is the gases stripped from the water and the metallic taste is thought to be the bubbles’ effect on the mouth.
		Dip tubes are designed to deliver cold water to the bottom of the water heater so it does not mix with the already heated water in the upper portion of the unit.

	Pentair Water Treatment - Brown Scum in Brine tank??
		If the brine tank is refilled with softened water then that would indicate iron is bleeding through the softener either because the iron is not dissolved and therefore not removed by the resin or the resin is iron fouled.
		Since that indicates that you have iron in your water that would likely be the source of the brown scum.
		The scum in the brine tank should not get into your softened water because after the salt brine is introduced to the resin it then will see 2 rinse cycles that will rinse that out of the unit before it goes back into service.

		The water system has three tanks holding 5,100,000 gallons, one booster station serving the higher elevations at the south end of the water system, well over 120 miles of water mains, and nearly 740 fire hydrants.
		Even at the very low levels found at the wells, “brown” water may occur when large flows are created in water mains, such as when fire hydrants are used for fire fighting or testing.

	Rusty Water - The City of Norfolk, VA
		Your water is brown due to tiny rust particles made of iron.
		When a disturbance occurs such as a water pipe break, it causes the water in the pipes to flow much faster than normal, which in turn, causes rust particles to be picked up off the bottom of the pipe and carried into the water.
		When we become aware of a major disturbance in the water lines, the media are notified through a press release which carries which carries the warning of possible rusty water in certain areas.

	Brown County Ground-Water Resources, AEX-490.08
		Water stored under the earth's surface is a plentiful, yet precious, resource in most areas of Ohio.
		The two geological formations that yield ground water in Brown County are: consolidated bedrock consisting of thinly interbedded gray shales and limestones; and unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel.
		This aquifer is a poor source of water and it is found in all of the county's townships.

	Frequently Asked Questions - Woodmoor Water & Sanitation District
		Yes, iron removal is a secondary water quality standard as it is more an aesthetic quality and does not affect the safety of the water for consumption.
		The District pumps its water from underground aquifers and the soils that the aquifers are composed of will give the water its characteristics.
		The Districts Rules and Regulations require that the homeowner is responsible for the water service line beginning at the property line to include the curb stop shut off and all interior plumbing including the PRV, the backflow device, the water hammer device, and the water meter.

		Using a low water use groundcover such as Wooly Thyme (Thymus psuedolanuginosdus) with its beautiful color and fragrance or Trailing Fleabane (Erigeron flagellaris) with its delicate white flowers is a great way to save water and keep your landscape green.
		Evapotranspiration, or ET, is the total amount of water lost to the air through natural plant processes (called "transpiration") and through evaporation from the soil.

	Principles of Crystal Clear Water
		Brown indicates floating dirt and particles in the water.
		Green water is waterborne algae and it’s a bit more difficult to get rid of it than simply cleaning your pond — although cleaning the mulm and debris from your pond will increase the chances of getting rid of the algae.
		Water plants, especially floaters and anacharis, compete with algae for nutrients in the water.

		One unidentified resident said that when she called the authority in 2003 about the problem, she was told it would be taken care of the next spring.

		Witt also said that the water authority is under obligation to PennVEST to pay back a $3.2 million loan that was borrowed for the project that brought public water to the Route 31 corridor almost 11 years ago.

	Brown Pelican: WhoZoo
		The brown pelican is a large dark gray-brown water bird with white over the head and the front of the neck. The back of the neck is covered with rich brown feathers. In the breeding season the head feathers turn yellow.
		Once the water is drained from the pouch, the fish is swallowed and stored in the esophagus. Special air sacs under the skin on the front of its body protect the pelican from the impact of the dozens of dives it makes each day.
		Even though the two brown pelicans at the zoo like to be around themselves, they are tolerant of the white pelicans and other birds in the exhibit as well.

		There would be an additional cost to treat and soften the river water, so there is no incentive for the company to conserve the hundreds of millions of gallons that could be eventually directed towards Baton Rouge.
		Under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the Department of Health is responsible to be sure that all well water is safe.

	Brown water is safe to drink, city says
		Brown water streaming from the taps in some Queen Anne neighborhood homes since Monday is worrying residents, including some who say the city told them not to drink it.
		The water, about the color of strong tea, is coming from a 24-inch high-pressure water main that was out of service for about a year after being damaged.
		More disconcerting than the water's color, some residents say, was the confusing and contradictory information they were given when they called the city's after-hours number Monday night.

		Seepage lakes in sand and gravel settings may also look clear, and shallow water is clear because there is not enough depth for the long, blue wavelengths of light to travel and be reflected back.
		The material leaches into slow moving streams and lakes from surrounding forests, bogs and wetlands, and stains the water brown or reddish brown.
		During spring snowmelt, rivers may appear brown as heavy rains and snowmelt send a pulse of sediment, grit, and dust into streams.

		Many systems had a water supply at one end of the village, gravity surface water or spring supply, and to avoid filtration have opted to put in wells at the opposite end of the village (community).
		The possibility of iron or manganese being present in the source water is also a possible cause for color in the water.
		Dirty water does not mean that the water is contaminated, but there are bacteria that can hide in the dirt particles and can be harmful.

		Terry Rolan, director of Durham's Department of Water Management, said in the written statement that forcing water at a high velocity through underground pipes removes residue from the piping, which improves water quality.
		While the flushing proceeds, there is the potential for air to become trapped in the lines or for the water pressure to drop slightly.
		Discolored water does not necessarily pose a health risk, the city release said, and crews will check chlorine residuals to ensure adequate disinfection levels.
