What causes water to become discolored?
Water appears to be discolored because of a rusty iron pipe. This occurs when rust dissolves into the water turning it a shade of brown, orange, and sometimes yellow. The cause of the issue can either be a problem with a pipe in your home or the city’s water main system. At Rodgers Plumbing we notice this problem can also occur when the local fire departments flush the hydrants which sometimes can cause temporary discoloration in your water.
