Brown water
Are you getting brown or cloudy water? Make sure to turn off your taps for half an hour and do not use your washing machine or dish washer. Next, turn all your taps on full and keep on doing this until the water becomes clear again. Brown water is not bad for your health.

Why is my tap water brown?
Water becomes brown if iron particles break free from iron or steel water pipes. This can happen when we flush the water mains. Or when the water pressure changes.
Stains on your laundry
Was your washing machine running when brown water was coming from your tap? Did this cause stains on your laundry? Make sure your clothes stay wet. Rinse your clothes out with water when the tap water is clear again. Check your clothes and re-wash them if you can still see stains.
