Soemrville sends out periodic notices about rust in the water. (http://www.townonline.com/somerville/artsLifestyle/view.bg?articleid=597463)
Until the water runs clear, it is advisable to avoid washing clothes, especially white fabrics. If any rust stains appear on wet laundry, the clothes should not be dried, and the homeowner should contact the Water Department for a bottle of rust remover at 617-625-6600, ext. 5850.
Rust can also build up in the hot water heater.
Some home owners put in a home water filtration system on their main line.
