Water Quality

Water tastes fishy and like it's straight out of a creek. Gave my family diarrhea for a week before we figured out what was causing it.
Water tastes fishy and like it's straight out of a creek. Gave my family diarrhea for a week before we figured out what was causing it.
Other: Our tap water has been tasting strange the last 2 days, kind of like dirt or algae. This is not how it normally tastes.
Musty tap water, as bad as its ever been. I have a .5 micron carbon filter on my kitchen sink and the awful smell taste still gets through. Been this way for several days now. Something is up.
The tab water has been tasting really bad for roughly the last week. Is this a known city-wide issue or should I be calling a plumber. I can't find any other reports of this issue.
Our water pressure has dropped considerably this morning to the point where the water is just dribbling out the faucet.
Our water is discolored / rusty. This is coming from the cold water taps and isn't due to a rusty water heater. (Our water heater was replaced just a few months ago.)
Not enough water flow to even flush toilets
After my refridgerator ice maker stopped working and the water dispenser slowed, I discovered that the water line to fridge was releasing water filled with what appear to be dirt particles. These were clogging the refridgerator water filter, causing the above-mentioned problems. Currently, this appears to be the only spigot with water quality issues, but it is still a concern.
Water coming through faucets and toilet fills is very dark copper colored.
Other: water is causing hair to feel brittle and cannot brush; causing hair to fall out in clumps
