Update (8/24/2007): Jeff Shields of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote a piece and confirmed that the German for “brown water” would indeed be “Braunwasser” and that Brunwasser translates to “spring water.”

I stand corrected and offer my apologies to the commish. Sorry, Bernie!

The Philadelphia Water Commissioner is named Bernard Brunwasser. Brunwasser translated from German means “brown water“, “spring water.”

This has to be the best name in Philadelphia government since we had Alfred Outlaw as our Revenue Commissioner.
