First thing I'd do is find out who the head honcho is at the water
authority
and demand to speak to him/her.

Hmmm... I'm trying to psyche myself up to be beastly on the phone
tomorrow morning lol... I am soooo sick of this problem by now. If
they flush the hydrant, we get two weeks (like clockwork) of clean
water, followed by the inevitable sudden decline.


Don't be nasty. Nasty just makes the other person nasty. Follow Joe SB's
instructions to get to the head guy. The, you say, I have a problems, and
you are the person that can help me. Politely explain the problem, offer a
suggestion, then let him follow up. Only when this does not work do you get
nasty. Just be firm and polite, at least at first, state your case, and you
will get better results.
