water has a green tint to it.
Coming from all water sources hot and cold.
We have run water for 15 minutes

The tenants in the house have sent the water to the town health department for testing.

It’s NJ and the tenant laws are killer.

There is an electric instant water heater.

I’m wondering if the green water is from minerals in the town water reacting with the copper pipes?
Could a short in the electric instant water heater cause electrolysis and accelerate the corrosion process?
