Two of my rental houses have dirty water in their hearers. In each case, the heaters were drained within the past year and refilled. One was drained in October, the other in May. Coincidentally, they are on the same block in the same neighborhood. Any suggestions?
Depends. If the heaters are old and the anodes worn out, the dirt could be a sign of impending failure. If not, and the dirt is large, it could be crud from when the municipality flushed the mains or fought a fire. A whole house water filter would take care of most of that, although small sediment will still show up. Whole house filters make sense to me, as they can prevent clogging of aerators on faucets and valve problems.

You're supposed to drain them regularly anyway, and it isn't unusual to get muck in the bottom if you don't. Just do it more often.
No. Where the main water comes into the homes. I'd probably check with others neighbors so see if they have the same issues. Its county water, correct? I'f probably have the water checked from an outdoor spigot.

City water. Water meter sunk in the ground at street curb. How would I attach a filter to the city meter?
