    The tap water in NYC is brown lol

    I know it’s probably safe to drink through some technicality, but it’s definitely off-putting. We can’t even use it in our humidifier without filtering it

      Is the water brown coming out of the water main at the street? Is the brown being added by old piping/water heaters in your house/building?

        Every apartment I’ve lived in has been like this. Nothing I can do because landlords don’t give a single fuck about their buildings. If drinkable tap water is a luxury only the rich can have, then you don’t have drinkable tap water

      If you want to understand how incredible NYC’s water system is, watch this Wendover video. It blew my mind.

      Of course, shitty landlords with old pipes ruins it for a lot of people, but the hard part is done.
