8AM Monday: water in our toilet (at 20th & John) flushes a rusty brown color. Is this a general problem or just me? Yes, the water in the tank’s brown, also.
I note that there’s an active fire call at 2014 E. Denny: you can hear an alarm in the building and there are fire-trucks but no smoke. I suspect that one of the fire-trucks returning from the call (5 units dispatched, 2 there now) stopped by the fire-hydrant at the bottom of my yard to refill its tanks, and that stirred up rust in the pipes.

Talked to the fire department about the morning call-out. Spokesperson says a dryer fire was extinguished by automatic sprinkler system this morning around 7:30AM in this multi-family housing near Denny and 21st Ave. Damage was limited. No details on whether any trucks filed in the area.
We had the same condition…but on Saturday afternoon so not related to fire call I guess. Did you have the rusty water just this morning or Sat. too? Who knows how resilient our stomachs are to handle a little rust?
Just happened this AM: saw water in toilet bowl go from clear to brown as I flushed!
Puddles around the fire hydrant are consistent with the fire-truck filling up its tanks theory.
