[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 489182, member: 11791"] Draw a bucket from JUST the cold tap, and see how bad that is. THAT is the sample you have to take to the lab - city is only responsible for the COLD water coming in. If possible, take it from the tap closest to the mainline - less affected by pipes. THEN draw another bucket from the hot tap, and compare. If you think pipes is part of the problem, draw a third time - from the cold tap furthest from the mainline, and compare to the original bucket. If this one is noticably worse, then pipes are probably also an issue... You may well have BOTH problems - but the solution is in different directions. Hot water tank... get landlord/landlady. Cold water... more research! UGH! [/QUOTE]
