Is your water rusty?

8AM Monday: water in our toilet (at 20th & John) flushes a rusty brown color. Is this a general problem or just me? Yes, the water in the tank's brown, also.

I note that there's an active fire call at 2014 E. Denny: you can hear an alarm in the building and there are fire-trucks but no smoke. I suspect that one of the fire-trucks returning from the call (5 units dispatched, 2 there now) stopped by the fire-hydrant at the bottom of my yard to refill its tanks, and that stirred up rust in the pipes.
