Water Quality

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???

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 have read the statements released by CBU/Tyler Steury about the water smell/taste being just an aesthetic issue, and at first that assuaged my concerns. However, I have been experiencing diarrhea after consuming the water since the end of August. I've been able to get a couple days of relief here and there just by avoiding the water, but it comes back when I lapse by getting a fountain soda or ordering food with a lot of tap water (soup, pasta). I've spoken with many other residents with the same issue. Also, our pets who drink tap water have been getting sick. I'm deeply concerned that CBU isn't effectively mitigating the algal toxins. I can't find cylindrospermopsin and microcystins levels on the CBU website, so I can't compare them with the EPA Drinking Water Health Advisory levels at https://www.epa.gov/cyanohabs/epa-drinking-water-health-advisories-cyanotoxins. Is CBU testing for toxins daily, and where is that data?
