The brown is probably from build up in the building pipes. I get that at our house after the water has been shut off as well! I use tap water to fill a britta pitcher so its at least been filtered a bit. If I use striaght tap water and let the glass sit for a couple hours, there will be a bunch of "sinkies" in the bottom of the glass but after its been run through the filter thingy in the pitcher, I don't get that!
