Cool clear water
Ran a couple hundred gallons of water into the creek today from the pump house and flushed the water heater and the plumbing. Seems to have cleared up.
One of my concerns was that it might be a leak in the pressure tank and the sediment was rust. Not good. Decanted off one of my samples and poured in a few ounces of distilled white vinegar -- that stirred up the sediment but it settled right out again. Not iron.
My neighbor across the street has a shallow well and has not had any problems. Tomorrow I will be calling the neighbor downstream from me to see what kind of well they have and what is happening with them.
Fun fun fun...
