So I called water authority to report this- but it's the second time in two weeks. Anyone have more info about this?

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?

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.
