    Just got a blast of black tap water while filling up the sink. Anyone else with this issue?

    Its a sign of the zombie apocalypse! By the evening rush hour, we should be in full on civic collapse. Crap! This would start on the day we are out of canned dog food!

    I wonder if I can get from the D line on market, to All the Best, and home without getting bit?

    I'd flush your hot water tank, for certain.

    Also, any time you bang any pipe, or experience what would be called a 'water-hammer' anywhere in any of your older plumbing, your water will darken considerably as a result.

    Clean your aerator screens on your faucets as well, you will find a great deal of trapped gunk now.

    Anyway, it's likely an isolated issue, do the above before you consider paying someone else to check it out.
