However, when I first noticed it it all came out in very dark color when I turned on my hot water. The cold water seemed to be more clear. This usually means that the problem is local-- in my water heater perhaps. But I'm not sure. Maybe the hot-water-moment flushed most of the brown and I didn't
notice the browness in the cold water as much. And just yesterday, the water in my white mug seemed a little red/brown.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343073519-05082007></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343073519-05082007>Sometimes when there is construction or water works going on in town, there will be a little brown. </SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343073519-05082007></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343073519-05082007>All this is probably fairly normal and not dangerous. The brown is probably just plain ol' dirt (soil).

The periodic leaflet we get from the water works people warns us that the contaminants in our water may be harmful to the elderly, small children, or people whose immune system is compromised (or similar language). I do notice that our water is not particularly good
for the plants in my orchid collection. However, I mostly grow Catasetinae and you can just about water these with gasoline and they won't mind. (<A href="http://cosmo.turbonet.com/">http://cosmo.turbonet.com</A>). They don't like salty water, though.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343073519-05082007></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=343073519-05082007>Bob Dickow, troublemaker</SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> vision2020-bounces@moscow.com [mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Bev Bafus<BR><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, August 04, 2007 10:06 PM<BR><B>To:</B> vision2020@moscow.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [Vision2020] Water<BR><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=546100505-05082007>Has anyone else been experiencing brown tap water in Moscow?</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial
