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???
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.
The water has been making my stomach have issues. I switched to bottled water and am starting to feel better
Please do something about the length of time the algae taste is in our water. Thr kids and pets can't handle it.
Water is a light yellow greenish color
The water tastes and smells nasty.
