timexliving chances are fracking will be coming to Durham, then it will be the cause when that happens.

Hey charmcclainlovesdogs2, Where do you think the water you "buy" comes from. A tap, my friend, do some research. It's not some magical stream in your fairy wonderland. Not to mention the harmful plastic bottle your bought water comes in. How do you expect the city to clean and treat our dirty water for our use, wave a magic wand?

This happens pretty much every year during/around the month of April. Raleigh does the same thing. This is nothing out of the ordinary.

I would not drink this water. It don't sound or look safe. Buy your water.

So I have to waste water and money while running water until it clears up? I hope they adjust water bills - iron fist

You might be on to something...lol...this is one way for cities to make more money. Everyone's water bill is gonna be higher than usual, at the end of the month, w/o compensating for the extra water usage.
