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
We have been having gastrointestinal issues for the past 2.5 weeks and want the water to be tested for coliform.
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?
Water outage. There is no water pressure at all.
Despite never receiving any specific notice about the termination of the aqua pay system for my utility account, I was removed from the aqua pay program and thus 2 subsequent bills went unpaid, and our water was shut off for delinquency. I then had to pay $45 each for a water shutoff and turn on fee. I do not believe that it is my responsibility to foot this fee when I was under the impression that my autopay would be the method with which my bill would be paid off. In addition, the water was shut off at my house after 4:15 PM, meaning there was no way for me to contact the utilities office and request my water to be turned back on same day if I were to have paid off the balance immediately.
I don’t know if this is the right place to report this, but this seems like it might be a problem. The owner has covered the entire yard and the tree plot with gravel. It looks like they’ve done some additional planting lately, but the gravel is eventually going to stop the water from getting to both their new plants and to the street trees. I don’t think this is OK/legal. It looks like a student rental.
