Heading out to pick up our order ( special cat food) from Target we noticed water running the gutter. It was coming up from the ground in front of a neighbor's yard. She was sitting outside so we stopped to "suggest" she call the water department.
On our way home the Blue Springs Water dept. truck was parked in front of her house and a group of workers seemed to be discussing what to do.
Soon they were at work digging away and vacuuming up the wet dirt. (Our subdivision was built in the 1970's and the pipes are often needing replacement! Our clay soil and hot summers / cold winters add to ground shifting which leads to pipes breaking and this summer has been HOT!)
Making dinner I turned on the kitchen faucet and tan water came out ... air in the pipes added to it all. We put some in a glass ...not a pretty sight! Bottles of water for us tonight!

That tap water sounds nasty, I hope it is clear and clean by the next day. That sounds like a big project for the water pipes and your neighbor.
