Question Brown, brown toilet water?

I wonder if any of you have info on this: our realtor mentioned when we bought our 13 yr old resale designer home in Calumet Grove that TV used to plumb houses to use non-potable water for toilets as a conservation measure.
When we moved in after about a month of the house sitting empty both toilets had brown sedimentary toilet water in their bowls--about the color of very strong tea.
I thought the bowls were stained from the awful looking water, it was that bad, but it did clean up. I contacted the water dept but the representative there knew anything about it, she had not worked here that long ago.
Since then it happened again when we were gone 3 weeks. DUH> Whazzup???
