    Oh yuck yuck! Where's that throw-up smiley? :smt085

    Jeez. For just a minute, I wondered why you'd filled up your sink with split pea soup. What IS that???? :headscratch:

    Good grief that's disgusting!! :smt078Are all the taps in the house producing that filthy stuff? How are you going to be able to make a cuppa, cook or have a bath or shower? I really hope you can find the cause and get it fixed FAST.:fingerscrossed:

    Water line break because of the freezing temps? Hope they get the problem fixed in short order.

    A big big relief. All is well with our well. What you see in my sink is muddy sandy water from the well. Our well is 250 ft. deep in to a underground river. The river bed caved in somewhere and caused the muddy water. We have to let it run until it clears up. We now have an ice rink out back because it's so cold. Once it clears we have to flush well and lines with bleach. So it's bottled water for a few days. I'm glad I wasn't doing a load of laundry.

    Glad you have it all figured out Donna, and hopefully you didn't have to spend too much $$.

    I hope it clears up soon. Maybe some houseplants need some muddy water?

    Donna, finding out that this is a problem simple to solve is a great relief!
    May I say that, other than the muck in the sink, your bathroom is lovely.

    I'm glad that it was something that is somewhat simple but what a mess in the meantime. Do you have any idea how long you have to run your water before it clears up and will pumping all that mud damage your pump?
