Hi, my wife was running the hose outside for about an hour at the most and all of a sudden the water turned brown. Never had this problem before but I'm not sure if we ever ran the water that long before. Any ideas?  :confused: 
 
Thanks

Looks like the water table lowered and now you're pumping soil.   Have you been having a dry spell of late? It should replenish itself if you let it alone and stop making heavy draws. Good luck,  Tom

Thanks for the reply and I was hoping that would be the answer. It has been dry and very hot here lately.

I live in Florida where we are in a steady drought season so I can sympathize.   Is that your scooter?  I used to build choppers up in Tampa back in the 60's and 70's.  The last scooter I chopped was a 1948 Indian Super Chief.  It was my favorite.  Cheers,  Tom

It is my scoot. 1978 FLH 75th anniversary edition. I've had it for a long time. My son, who has an '07 Road King and an'07 Night Train, is always after me to buy a new one. Even if I would I'd never sell my '78. Nice to know you were into bikes.
