Hi, My roommate and I have been experiencing skin problems (i.e. dryness, flaking and a lot of sudden acne when we both have never had acne) for the past couple weeks and we have ruled out any other changes we have made. We were notified by our landlord that the city of Bloomington was making changes in the water system, and when we went home out of state for a week, the skin problems resolved. Thank you for your time!
The water is coming out of our tap milky white. It smells like wet gravel and dirt. It has been this way since 1/17
My water was brown when I came home from work yesterday afternoon. Was a water main flushed in the area? I live in Fritz Terrace.
Water is brown
I've got a trickle of water running into my back yard. It seems to be coming from the SW corner of our lot. I wonder if there is another problem with the water main back there. It seems to be coming from underground. Given the amount of rain that we've had over the past several days, this shouldn't be happening.
Having visited the county government offices at the showers building recently I am shocked at the water quality. I had taken a drink from a water fountain and it was so bad. There is a bad chemical taste and it even smells weird. I hope this isn't what we expect the county workers to be drinking because I fear they could get sick from drinking it. I was just a visitor to the busing that took a drink from the water fountain. I couldn't imagine working in a building that has unsafe drinking water.
Lack of hot water
Low water pressure
There was a water main break near Banneker earlier this week. Our water pressure has returned but even after running water periodically over the last couple days it remains very cloudy.
