tap water is discolored in Hilo

[unknownjulie]

If the tap water runs more clear after running the water awhile, then does that point to a problem with my own water line? How does this work? If a small leak is present and water normally is leaking out, but then after a heavy rain -the pipe is submerged in rain water- then is that how water then enters the water pipe to come out the tap? How does the city know that this is not happening somewhere other then my property? The pressure is fine and has been.
