If the color of your water has changed, it is an indication that the quality of your water has been affected. What could the problem be? In most cases, a color change is caused by some type of contamination. If you have public water, then the problem is more likely to be with your pipes. It is possible that the pipes have rusted or become dislodged, allowing dirt and contaminants to enter your supply of water. If you have well water, the pipes can be the problem, but it is also possible that your water supply has been contaminated.

Water contains contaminants that occur naturally in it. Therefore, no source of water is ever entirely free of contaminants. It is important to consider the source of the bottled water that you are drinking, particularly because it is perfectly legal for manufacturers to use public drinking water rather than streams. If the water in your home is properly filtered, it is safe to drink and use. Why not consider a whole house water filtration system to ensure that your water supply is safe?
