The water has a similar taste as it did last September.

Orange tap water.
Water smells like dirt. Literally like soil. It’s been this way for at least a week, and nothing has made it better. I’ve tried bleach in the drains, thinking it was the pipes.
Low water pressure that I noticed about 5:30 p.m. today. It is acceptable but lower than normal.
Water coming out of taps BROWN.
Our tap water has turned yellow and there is some particulate in the kitchen faucet strainer. We just noticed this today, and it seems potentially dangerous. Our address is 907 S. Manor Rd. in BL 47401. Phone 812-219-8988
Water running brown from al faucets in home. Have been calling the city for several hours and unable to reach anyone.
More than one person is sick with bronchitis in multiple units in the building. The doctor states that bronchitis can be caused by materials that pollute indoor air. I know that we all share one furnace where one unit has control over the temperature of all six apartments in the building. There was questionable contaminated water that was sitting in a unit for the month that the residents were getting sick; it was plunged down the drained Monday 11/7. Though the water is not there anymore, the health and safety of the ventilation & air quality is still in question. I also cannot open the windows easily to the whole apartment to let fresh air in (is that a fire hazard?)
The owner of this renter occupied building (Tariq Khan) and/or the tenants have not taken their garbage out to the curb for pickup in three weeks. Also, this home has rain gutters and downspouts that go directly into the ground or into areas between the home and neighboring houses - which is causing water damage to the neighboring houses.
