Any folks in the Dunmore Road area have slightly brown tap water at the moment?

None of my neighbours are in to ask if they are seeing the same thing. Coming from both the kitchen sink as well as toilets and toilet sinks, etc. I'm in Farmleigh, across from the Brasscock.

I'm in Viewmount and just noticed that the water is brown, it's not noticable when it's in a glass but when I filled a white plastic basin you could see how brown it is.

Is it safe to drink?

Mine went back to normal after about an hour or so of running the tap.

It is absolutely NOT safe to drink as it's an unknown substance. Don't dare do so until you are totally sure that your tap is running clean again.

I can now see how discoloured the water is in a glass, it looks like a lot of homeopathic drops added to the water.
