The water that comes out of the tub faucets is yellow and on occasion brown. I've posted about how bad the building is, but should we be concerned? Other tenants have had the same problem. Management company won't fix anything anymore since they told us they are not renewing lease.
This is definitely the first place to come if you think you are being poisoned, you smell gas, or you see a downed power line.
Thanks again for posting and we'll take it from here.
Ah, fond memories of Frank Zappa. Two songs in particular: Yellow Snow and Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?
so no thoughts on yellow water?
For $50 or so, you can get a mail order water testing kit, and learn everything you never needed to know about your water. You can also complain to the water department about the water, although it is probably not going to get you very far.
Brownish water, if there is no visible sediment in the water, is usually a sign of rust, meaning corrosion somewhere along the path. Could be in the pipes. Could be the water tower. Could be the hot water heater corroding if it is only on the hot side. Not likely to be a health hazard, and usually runs clear after running the faucet for a few minutes. Also easily removed by a water filter for drinking purposes.

@JJ2 Thank you!

Have you ever gone to a grocery store, 9-11 or other convenience store, stadium or park and seen bottles of yellow or brown water for sale?
Have you ever gone to a bodega and seen gold water for sale?
They tried to sell me Barry Goldwater in 1964 with the campaign slogan "In your heart, you know he's right." Too bad those rascally Dems replied unofficially with "In your guts, you know he's nuts." Paired with the official mushroom-cloud teevee ads, we got the Great Society and clean water instead. Mostly.
Alan are you still litigating the 60s?
Just the East 60s.
