From the tenant in the flat
I did this several times in the past and what happens is that initially the water is rusty in colour and there’s rust sediment and then the water runs more and more clear.
So once you run the hot water for let’s say 5 minutes, the water becomes clear eventually, however, when I turn it on the next day, the same thing happens: it is rusty water to begin with and then it becomes clear.
I hope this helps.
Thank you

When I've had a similar problems Rocky the water board confirmed it was their engineering works up stream responsible for the discolouration.
They came and tested a water sample from the property and comfirmed it was safe to bath as it passed their consumption test.
Additionally, they did give a date for their work completion so give them a call.

If they say it's not there doing then there's a good chance the house has old galvanised pipework which would need upgraded to plastic or copper.

I'd say Battles on the money here, all pipes have foreign bodys on the walls of the pipe work ( debris), because water swirls as it runs normally the water travels down the pipe in the middle, the debris clings to the walls, If/when the water is turned off and drained for repairs, the debis falls off the walls, when the water is turned back on, It comes out of the tap, Depending on how much pipe has been turned off, what materials are involved will effect the time it takes to clear,  |
