It looks as though the extra consumption that has come with the good weather may be stress testing the treatment works.

Rusty/muddy brown here.

Where are you OP? They had a shutdown overnight in Sunnynook - maybe some stuff got flushed through after they turned it back on?

No problems with the water on my shore. But I'm pretty sure my shore is different to your shore.

Crystal clear, cheap and plenty of it in Nelson City (provided you aren't in the area supplied by Tasman). Just bumped up the duration on the irrigation timers.

Well, Milford does have a lot of water...it's a bit famous for people taking trips in it!

Crystal clear, saved from the roof and filtered/UV treated as it comes into the house.

Do you carbon after the UV or filter before?

My experience comes from fish-farming so I know how to make a system very killy for pathogens but not so sure about the human safety aspects like free bromate-ions from UV.

Bayview, so that could be the explanation.

Any roadworks in your area? Have seen cases where ground vibrations caused by the roadworks stirs up sediment in the pipes.
