[Chat] water troubles

[Linda Forlifer]

There was a lot of water coming out of the water meter cover in front of 323 E 33rd for maybe a week.  It was reported to the city the day it began, but the water kept running.  Until it's repaired, the people living there need their water service.  For that block quad there is only one storm drain, at the NE corner of 32nd & Guilford.  So the gutter had a stream of water from 33rd, all down the 3200 block of Abell (west side), and along 32nd St (north side) till it ran in the storm drain.

Yesterday, Roberts Plumbing was there in the morning and turned off the water.  This morning I see that the front is all dug up, around the meter in the tree lawn and the front garden between the sidewalk and the house front.  Most likely the dirt in the water is from this repair.

Whenever this happens, you just want to run the water till it is again clear, to clean out the rust/dirt that got in the pipe.

Josh,

We saw the water coming out yellow on Sunday, but
it's fine today.  I don't know what to do about that.
