1:30 PM, 6/24/13: I just ran a tub full of water and realized that the stuff coming out of my pipes here in Iselin is nasty brown. I checked the Middlesex Water Company website ....nothing. So, I called the Middlesex Water Company's "Hotline."
The phone rang a while before I got someone to answer, but when they answered they were extremely helpful. The guy said that they are only doing routine maintenance, flushing the pipes, in the area. The brown stuff is iron deposits. If I understood it right, the iron deposits build up in the main and need to be flushed out once in a while, but they are not harmful. Just very unattractive and unappetizing.
The water company guy assured me that there is NO boil water advisory, and no need for one. He said the stuff would dissipate soon. (A lot of it just dissipated into my tub.)
So I guess I have a good excuse for not doing laundry today.
