The water coming out of my taps and into my toilet is a medium reddish brown.:? I suspect it has to do with the maintainence work on the pipes down the street. I hate living in this city sometimes. I just wish I could shower but I am betting that the water will be the same tone there too.

Update: It turns out that they had simply turned off the water to replace the meter with a new electronically readable one. Water is back to normal and I smell nice again.
