Water Pressure & Quality
Why Does Water Suddenly Turn Yellow or Cloudy?
The cause is usually rust inside old iron pipes disturbed by a sudden pressure change or nearby maintenance work on the public network, or sediment inside the ground or elevated tank that needs cleaning. If the discoloration continues for more than a day or two, it's best to inspect the tank's condition and the internal pipes to make sure there isn't advanced corrosion.
