closed: Resolved #181461

Water Quality:

Other: We all are aware of the taste and smell issue with the water right now. I work at the hospital and many of my patients refuse to drink it because it tastes so bad, as do I. The smell in the shower or when pouring water to boil is so bad. My big issue is that my dog has become very ill with bleeding upon urination, vomiting, and severe diarrhea. When I took her to the vet there were 3 others in the waiting room with dogs with the same issue. I know we have been told that the water is safe to drink but I'm not sure this is a coincidence. I worry that there have not been enough testing done on the safety of the algae in the water on pets. I will be giving mine only bottled water and hope she survives this illness but really want this issue resolved.

Corinna, You are correct, I have not read anything about the effects of the taste and odor compounds on pets. I do know that algae affects dogs earlier than humans as DNR has advised that dogs not be allowed to swim in Lake Monroe currently. We are working to resolve the issue. The algae numbers are beginning to decrease. Feel free to reach out with other concerns or questions.
