I want you fucking people to fucking LOOK at the fucking water in my fucking bathtub. I just went in to take a shower and noticed some black silt on the bottom of the tub. I've been noticing this off and on for a little while, and it's been bugging me a little, but I just didn't bother to say anything. But tonight it seemed particularly bad, so I ran a tubful to see what it would look like.

IT'S FUCKING BLACK.

And I don't live in a fleabag. It's just a regular, everyday apartment--nothing wonderful, nothing too shitty. But cripes. They're bulding an addition to the doctor's office next door, and I'm wondering if they've jabbed a hole in the water main and all sorts of filth is getting in the line. I don't even know if that's possible. But I'm making some phone calls tomorrow.

Ah, so that's what bathtub gin looks like.

Oh, like you've never had it before.

the water in this house runs fairly clear......nudge nudge

its silt
happens when the water source gets stirred up
odds are you already put your finger on it with the building going on

Every once in a while I hear a *blubblub* and there's dirt and black water in my tub. It's probably from the DWP working in the neighborhood.

ewww, you would get dirtier showering than not.

Ew. I hope you've called someone about it?

My water comes out white sometimes...but clears up after a few minutes. I think it is a result of the water company putting too many chemicals in it.

Yeah, I called the property manager last night and left a message. The water did run clear this morning, so I was able to take a shower, thank goodness. I'm sure they'll check it out and say, oh, there's nothing wrong with this water!
