City water frustration!
 Today I noticed that water coming out of the tap is brown. So I called the Spartanburg Water, and they said that there was a huge break in a water main last night. Great. I had just made a bunch of new pufified water, and started some SW for a water change. I guess I'll throw out all of it. Don't want to take any chances, thouth the woman at the water dept said the water was safe. Yuck.

Brown thats not good! What do you think the TDS is on that? Do you think the RO/DI would take the bad stuff out?
