"My lawyer strongly advised me to sue the township over negligence with the zoning/construction problem I'm having."

I agree with your lawyer, I grew up in that town & still have family there. If you are not related or know someone there, Good luck trying to get anything approved.

Yes, The water is always brown, They claim its from the Fire hydrants??? What does the hydrants have to do with faucet water?

"One guy who works there has 4 township roles." That's very common in that town. Plus they get a pay check for each role they hold.

I can only wish you the best of luck in that town. I bought my home down the road in Old Bridge & its so much better.

Not to defend South River in any way, but the fire hydrants are on the same water main that feeds your house. So when they flush hydrants, the high volume flow causes turbulence in the main and knocks loose some deposited sediment. The brown color is due to iron most likely (but possible dirt). This should only be happening once or twice a year. If you have brown water all the time, then they're bullshitting you and it has nothing to do with the hydrants.

There is brown water on a weekly basis but instead of addressing the issue, they blame it on hydrant usage or the residents using too much water.

Correct. I own a GC firm and we do city work. I know flushing hydrants causes this which is fine but this is a almost daily problem for some residents
