Yes, wait until it runs clear. If Granger-Hunter supplies your home, it asks you to let it know when this happens. It says flushing your lines, which means running your taps, for 15 to 30 minutes usually clears the water. If another district supplies you, call the one on your water bill. Washing in it can stain clothes. Samsung says yellow, orange or red stains on laundry can come from iron or manganese in the water. It names the home’s water supply as the most common cause. It says rust-like stains inside the drum are likely from the water too, and should clean off easily if treated right away. Since 2023, the district’s Rushton plant has removed iron and manganese from three of its wells, for customers east of Bangerter Highway.

Probably not. GE says yellow or brown stains on dishes aren’t typically caused by the dishwasher. An overall yellow or brown film can come from iron in the water, and glasses can take on a yellow or brown tint. GE calls an iron filter on the water supply line the only permanent fix. For gray or brown stains inside the dishwasher, it suggests citric acid crystals. Put three to four ounces in the detergent cup and run a normal cycle. Then run another cycle with detergent and no crystals, to rinse. The stains may come back, because the cause is the water.

The washer, yes. The fridge, only with a tag. Bulky waste pickup comes with West Valley City’s garbage service once a month. Set the item near the curb no more than a day ahead, by 7 a.m. on pickup day, and at least 5 feet from your garbage cans. A fridge or freezer holds Freon, the coolant sealed inside. The city won’t take one unless a tag from an authorized private company says the Freon has been safely removed. Without a tag, drive it to the county landfill yourself. The landfill charges $20 for each Freon appliance.
