Odd thing happened yesterday. Preceding it, I noticed the kitchen
sink faucet was leaking a little so did what I've successfully done
in the past - turning each faucet on and off firmly about 50 times,
which has stopped leaks in the past. I have no idea how. I mention
this in case it might pertain to the next paragraph.

Any way, running the kitchen sink hot water shortly thereafter, the
water started running dirty. Looked like rust. I checked the
bathroom, which is next to the water heater, and the hot water was
clear, so it wasn't the water heater. I let it run for several
minutes and it cleared up, and has remained clear since.

Curious. Any guesses?

TIA

You know it's time to clean the refrigerator

you have any galvanized water lines in your home?


AFAIK all copper originally with PVC repairs. I think that line is all
copper.

that faucet might have been on when some dirt got in water line from
saya leak repair on the street.

Nope, I have a well. Should have mentioned that.
