You go down and you buy a water test kit and you test it yourself or you call the city to come in and test your water for you because if it is not safe to be drinking and if it is brown it is not safe to be drinking there are water bottled waters that are clear that are not safe to be drinking so get it checked because it could have some kind of cancers garbage in it bacteria and it is going to make you deathly sick get it checked as soon as possible not as soon as possible get it checked today right now call somebody and have them come do a water test

[ohsheeT]

Also if you have a black light a blue UV light get a glass of water put the UV light up to it and look at all the garbage in it you will throw up I've done this many times with bottled water it's disgusting it's green it's brown and it has s*** floating around in it get it checked now you need water each and every day in your body and if you cannot trust your own water out of your faucet or even trust bottled water you're screwed you need water

[ohsheeT]

I know you probably don't want to cause waves with your landlord tough if you've asked him more than once tough you have to take it to a higher level and tell him you own that house because that's the most disgusting thing in the world I'm sorry I'm going to keep going on until you get it checked LOL

[ohsheeT]

Look at even in a swimming pool that is being tested each and every day and is okay to swim in it still has over 3,200 bacteria different bacteria in it that's why I say you need to go get it checked take it to the university they will check it for you

Is it well water? City water? Do other people have that issue? It may not be something he CAN fix. If you have root infiltration in the city line, that'll cause that, but the city will have to be the one to fix it if it's their side of the responsibility line.

Well water
I only have this problem

[BoopBoopBeep]

Is anyone else on that well?

[Asker]

No...

[BoopBoopBeep]

Did this start suddenly or gradually?

[Spongebobssocks]

You need to report it. Tell him/her you can order the plumber and send him/her the check.

[jshm2]

Why the fuck would you pay 1200 to rent?

That aside, check the lease to see what it says about water and services. i. e the landlord is responsible or not.

May be you need to get a contractor in to take a look and quote you a price to give to the landlord, regardless.

[Asker]

The landlord responsible for it.

[Kingofkings1992]

That’s a pretty normal rental price

I would pray about it and petition God that the Landlord fixes it. But also take a look at this. if you test it and have more to go on, it might help him get a move on:

With a well, unless it is a water line issue, you are pretty much stuck with what the well supplies. Depending upon where you live, a whole house filtration system could be anywhere from $49/month to around $10,000, which lasts around 20-25 years and is guaranteed for 12. You would have to check locally.

Wtf, brown water, are you washing dishes or making them more dirty

[Asker]

No...

If you were in America you could go to City Hall and find the agency that handles landlord disputes. They should be able to help you

[Dargil]

Mention it first to your landlord. If your land lord does not respond adequately, File a complaint with the municipal health department.

[Iron_Man]

Complain. What kind of water is that is it on a well or county water you can’t have water like that it’s not safe to drink.

[Asker]

It's well. I live in the country. I been complaining for 2 months.

[Iron_Man]

Don’t pay rent that high then

[Fireguy17]

Put a filter on your sink and send you water out to be tested to make sure it isn't unhealthy.

[Huntingnfishin]

Start looking for a new apartment. Hope your lease isn't too crazy

[Staximus]

If you live in America, you can call the city property inspector or housing authority

[jennifer_bloom]

Ate you pretending to be kosher?

[In_Trance]

Buy a water purification system

[Jmmmfi4]
