Getting rid of brown water requires a systematic flushing and maintenance approach. Step 1: Ask adjacent neighbors if their water is also discolored to rule out regional municipal main line flushing or breaks. Step 2: Go to your lowest household plumbing fixture (such as a basement utility sink or bathtub) and open the cold water valve fully. Step 3: Let the cold water run steadily for 10 to 15 minutes to flush out loose iron rust sediment from your supply lines. Step 4: If brown water persists exclusively on hot taps, flush and drain your water heater tank to remove accumulated sediment. Verification: Catch water in a clear glass to confirm it runs completely transparent.
