You have iron pipes and they're starting to rust. Only real fix is to
replace them with copper or CPVC, depending on whether you
can sweat them without setting the house on fire.

If it is city water, chances are the rust is coming from the main lines and
it can be miles away. Replacing the house pipes will not make any
difference. Get a rust-sediment filter. Alternate is to replace the
lines in the town. Budget $1million a year for a good replacement program.

Yes, I am on city water. Does the rust-sediment filter fit on the
shower nozzle or is it in-line?
