Brown or discolored water is caused by minerals, sediment, or rust that may accumulate in the water mains over time. When the water from your tap is brown this indicates a disturbance in the water main that stirs up these deposits.
If the water is still not clear, then do the same thing again every half hour or so. The problem should go away within one to two hours. If it doesnât, call TUD at (209) 532-5536. Orange, red, brown or yellow water: Rust can turn water orange, red, brown or yellow. Rust gets into the water from two places â your water utilityâs pipes or your own plumbing. To find out if the colored water is related to a plumbing problem on your property or your water heater, fill a large white bowl or bucket with water from the hose bib or faucet closest to the your water meter. Let the water run for two full minutes and then fill the bucket or bowl with water.
