Water is a light yellow greenish color
The water tastes and smells nasty.
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
Water smells and tastes like algae
Water is making me very sick
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?
The water taste/smell/quality here has been horrible for weeks. It’s insane that we still pay the same amount of money in our water bills for water that is undrinkable (due to awful taste). I’m tired of having to spend money on extra water sources. You’d think after multiple years of this same problem you guys would be able to put together a solution!
Yesterday my front water faucet was working just fine outside today I go to turn it on and it is not working at all. I have two so the one on the side of my house is barely working either.
Our water is brown and running the sinks is not fixing the issue.
