Apparently fire department use of water can cause brown water. We heard and saw trucks in Westville ten minutes before water change; it's possible they were using lots of water?

Fire is out and water is clear.

Fire out and water clear.

Libby, as part of the RWA staff and one RWA's ask.info mailbox monitors, I thank you for staying on top of this situation. Opening of a hydrant can, indeed, stir up sediment and cause brown water. I'm glad to hear that the situation has resolved itself. The fire department certainly is allowed to open a hydrant. However, if you see any illegal opening of hydrants occurring, please contact us right away. Again, thank you for your vigilance.
