Water on northwest side of town tastes like dirt. Kids said it's like that at Fairview elementary as well
Water tastes very bad and smells dirty
Water tastes and smells moldy 215 N. Rogers.
Water at 1211 W. 2nd Street suddenly smells and tastes terrible. The Sun Terrace Apartments.
Since about August 27 or 28, the tap water has tasted bad, and also smells different. It tastes like dirt, and it smells like dirt. I have been boiling my water for drinking water, and yesterday started buying bottled water. The same problem was found at the restaurant Southern Stone yesterday, August 31, and when I asked for some bottled water the waitress said she's heard that a lot lately about the tap water.
The odor and taste of our water renders it undrinkable at the moment. It tastes like mildew. I recognize this is likely from the algae bloom but my goodness there should be something you can do about this. It’s gross. …and didn’t you increase our water rates?
I understand there is algae overgrowth at the lake but the water has quickly become unconsumable this week. The smell alone is awful coming out of the tap, but our family cannot even drink it with the taste. There needs to be a better solution long-term to prevent this from happening. We are paying for water we cannot use.
The water smells and taste horrible. Honestly smells like you are at the lake. It actually made me gag this morning and several hours after showering in it I keep getting whiff's of lake. Really hoping my co workers can't smell lake water on me.
Help! For days now water literally smells and tastes like dirt. Must be really bad - pets will NOT drink either. Solutions? We’re clearly not alone. Are you going to supply bottled water since you think you deserved more money to run your operation??? For dirt???
