Our water has been "discolored" for months in PTC. We live on the West side near the Coweta line and we have had discolored water for several months. I called the Fayette Cty Water people and they came out (twice) and flushed the hydrants. We then ran 30-40 gallons of water through our system and tried again.....well finally they sent someone in our house to check the water. I was told it was a "tint" in my washing machine basin that was causing the discoloration. I then questioned why my tub fills with the same "tint" and they told me that because it was white, I may have that same "tint" in the tub. Where does this strange tint come from??? Upon getting annoyed with their answer, which was not acceptable, we then proceeded to write a letter to the state, but to date, have not heard any reply from them. Although I believe it is not harmful, we do not drink the water, we filter it first. It is just hard to do your wash and take a bath in what looks like dirtier water from the start.

the Coweta water department. You'll be amused at the answer they give for the reason for water discoloration. I was given the same answer for the reason for the smell. Horrible!!!
