In Sierra Madre, Yellow Tap Water is a Turnoff
From the Los Angeles Times:
“Officials in the tiny city at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains say the temporary use of imported water provided by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is to blame for the off-putting color.
“The Sierra Madre Public Works Department normally uses chlorine to disinfect water drawn from its own four wells and a pair of natural spring tunnels dug deep into the mountains. But the MWD uses chloramines to disinfect the water it pulls from the Colorado River and the California Aqueduct.”
