Water tastes fishy and like it's straight out of a creek. Gave my family diarrhea for a week before we figured out what was causing it.
Our water pressure has dropped considerably this morning to the point where the water is just dribbling out the faucet.
After my refridgerator ice maker stopped working and the water dispenser slowed, I discovered that the water line to fridge was releasing water filled with what appear to be dirt particles. These were clogging the refridgerator water filter, causing the above-mentioned problems. Currently, this appears to be the only spigot with water quality issues, but it is still a concern.
The tab water has been tasting really bad for roughly the last week. Is this a known city-wide issue or should I be calling a plumber. I can't find any other reports of this issue.
Our water is discolored / rusty. This is coming from the cold water taps and isn't due to a rusty water heater. (Our water heater was replaced just a few months ago.)
Not enough water flow to even flush toilets
Water coming into house is dark reddish brown. began at 9am 11/9/2022. Spoke with utilities and they did not have any known issues reported. Please inform if this is known or something that needs further attention. (859)333-4090
About a week after the taste and smell of tap water became like dirt, very organic, I began having loose stool. Last night I bought gallons of water from Kroger because the issue has only gotten worse. I've read that Lake Monroe is experiencing algal blooms, and this document by the epa indicates that this could be a problem, therefore I am reporting this for the safety of the community. https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-11/documents/harmful_algal_blooms_and_drinking_water_factsheet.pdf
There is no issue. This report is being filed for use in the creation of an SOP for responding to a complaint filed on uReport. Please direct to Tyler Steury, Utilities Water Quality.
