what makes toilet flush orange water?
Answers:
I had this same problem with my water when I would leave for a few weeks and try to turn the water on. It would come out this orangish color. It was because of rust in the line. It went away after I let the water run for a few minutes.
I was in an apartment, so I let the landlord deal with the problem!

THere is iron in your water. I'd probably boil before I drank or used it to cook. You might want to call the city. If it is the norm, look into softening.
