Who you should call depends entirely on whether the brown water affects your home exclusively or your entire neighborhood. If adjacent neighbors are experiencing discolored water as well, you should contact your municipal water utility provider or local water district to report the issue, as it is likely caused by neighborhood fire hydrant flushing, main line repairs, or a water main break. If the brown water is isolated entirely to your property, you should contact a licensed professional plumber to inspect your water heater tank or corroded supply pipes. Verification: Ask adjacent neighbors about their water clarity before calling a plumber or utility.
