An Alki resident reported brown, discolored tap water this weekend, though Seattle Public Utilities’ water-trouble map showed no listed incidents in the area as of Sunday afternoon.
The likely cause is sediment stirred up by hydrant use. Seattle Fire crews have had a busy stretch responding to calls. Still, anyone who notices discolored water is encouraged to report it to SPU’s 24-hour customer service line at 206-386-1800, since it could also signal an early sign of a system issue.
