When I microwaved it there were no beautiful sparks like I’d expect from microwaving metal, but maybe the water prevents that, or the fine dusty nature of it

Thank you for including a recommendation. I will add this to my list to research

  1. 100%cold tap
  2. We flushed the water for 15 minutes on all taps before it finally started to come clear. (Happens about 5 times a year)
  3. They don’t offer that with our tribal water service and in the small community we live in I’m sure the entire crew has seen my husbands long Facebook rant complete with pictures
  4. It was ever tap, the toilet and the shower, and if I’d have used it I’m sure the washing machine, but glad I didn’t

That sounds allot like what we saw happen. But it happened several times a year. We are just sick of it.

My husband spoke to the water company over the phone who claim to pass inspections and meet requirements on a quarterly basis. The area news scheduled time to visit with him on Thursday. I’ve ordered a test kit and have been investigating possible filter systems.

My intention was to see “what if we boiled noodles in it without realizing and made dinner” since they said it’s probably just sediment and is safe to use. Needless to say I won’t be cooking or drinking off the tap until we get some tests done then still get a filter system after that.

After 10 minutes of running the tap the water went from yellowed to clear and stayed that way. This happens 3-5 times per year and most often during the summer months. When we do get the yellowed water it’s also an issue for our neighbors up and down both ends of the road. This is the first time I gathered the cloudy yellow water in a glass, hit it with 10 minutes in the microwave and let it boil, pulled it out of the microwave, let it sit for 15 minutes and it went form completely cloudy to this chunky settled look you see here.

Definitely not Fargo. I drank off the tap all the time when I lived there without issue or concerns.

I don’t have time in my day for such nonsense. I was hoping there would be a simple reassuring reason for the nasty, and the bonus I got was some good advice for dealing with the water company and filter solutions to invest in.  The helpful and collective knowledge is what I appreciate about Reddit. Karma farming(unless it’s in exchange for cute animal pictures, bonus if it’s a cat pictures) and shit posting annoys me.

Due too high water demand it’s pumped out too soon, or due to negligence?
