Water tastes & smells disgusting. I got sick for a day, sore throat (negative covid test). We have a youth in home who has lots of allergies and food sensitivities, too. Thank you

The water tastes and smells nasty.
Water is a light yellow greenish color
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.
Please do something about the length of time the algae taste is in our water. Thr kids and pets can't handle it.
Terrible water taste affecting our business
The water has been making my stomach have issues. I switched to bottled water and am starting to feel better
I have read that people are complaining of a strange organic smell from the water, but the water at our office smells strongly of chemicals, enough so that it burns my eyes when using the water. It almost smells like bleach when the water is running and it tastes strongly of chemicals.
Water I know we are told that the water, despite tasting horrible, is safe; but I wonder if for some of us, there is esophageal damage being done. I have a discomfort in my esophagus that seems not the same as acid reflux and not really familiar. Please, can you put your focus not on densification or even getting rid of hazardous plants, but on such basics as having safe water, and water that at least with a routine kind of home filter arrangement is drinkable? I am sure this is affecting the health of a great many of us, if not directly, indirectly because the water is so repulsive that we may be drinking too little. I actually gagged while brushing my teeth.
I know this is not the first and won't be the last. Just wanted to formalize notice even though we are on East Monroe Water. You all are doing everything you can about the moldy water. Last year had the same problem at this time. The water causes my tongue to tingle. I know its suppose to be safe but we buy bottled water for those of us it bothers. The dog is struggling with it also. Thanks for always working on it. Strangely never noticed a problem when we were living in Park Ridge East our first 3 yrs here.
