KTLA has brought some disturbing fresh water news from down in Gardena, CA:
Diane Morita took video of the black water coming from her tap and posted to it YouTube.  The video also showed clear toilet water turning black as it was flushed.
She said it had happened several times before.
That can't be good.
In a telephone interview, Kate Nutting of the Golden State Water Company told KTLA that the water was safe to use, even for drinking.
“I understand the customer’s concern,” said Nutting, the general manager of the company’s south west district. “We also are concerned about delivering discolored water to a customer.”
Nutting told KTLA that Morita was the only complaint they had received.
But several neighbors said they too had contacted the water company during the past several months with similar concerns.
“Light brown, gooey, gobby, spiderweb stuff,” is how resident Charlotte Lynch described the water running from her tap.
Another homeowner, Emy Sebastian, said hers had small stones in it and smelled like a sewer.
my advise when you call an unscrupulous business with a legitimate complaint break out the recorder or download record app for your phone put the call on speaker if they lie get a lawyer.  but with black water i would have called he mayor the representative and local consumer watch TV channel.

keep in mind the consumer reg agencies that protect you from things like this are the very ones the republicans are trying to defund and eliminate, this is what we got from the infamous 2014 sit out, remember when 2016 rolls around especially if your water is black.
