Yellow water. It seems to be the result of the Fire Dept opening up a lot of hydrants to get water to water small Park Board trees on the boulevard. Dean Zimmermann

They explained that this is iron sediment that has been "stirred up" by the heat related high demand usage of water from hydrants by Public Works tanker trucks for watering trees and newly planted landscaping, etc. While the water looks, smells and tastes icky for about 24 hours it is NOT harmful.

Bright yellow water from the tap. Nasty water that left sinks with a residue when you drained them. I suppose the City was doing something to the main, but it was yucky to say the least. It had cleared up by tonight, but left a foul taste after discovering it while brushing one's teeth.
