Tap water smells and tastes like having mold or dirt.
Tap water smells and tastes like having mold or dirt.
The southbound bike lane ends too early right before the light. I was riding my bike along the road here and when it ended I didn’t know where to go because I was squeezed into car traffic turning right, however I wanted to go left, so I tried going up to the crosswalk with a walk signal to do a box turn. Whenever I did this the right turn car traffic was too close to the curb which pressed me into it as well and it caused me to hit the curb and I lost my balance and went over the curb, breaking my arm.
Water smells dank and mildewy.
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
The intersection could benefit from a white stop bar on the street's south corner. It is a two-way stop and we regularly see drivers run the intersection, without regarding the stop sign. It's possible the stop sign is also partly obscured by nearby tree limbs. But a white stop bar being painted would improve the visibility as well. This intersection is often very busy with car traffic, pedestrians (many children) and pets being walked. An accident is inevitable but could be avoided. The recent stop bars painted nearby under the overpass seems to have improved the traffic flow there. Thank you.
water smells/tastes like mold/dirt/fungus/rotting, no amount of filtration using home filter systems or boiling will get the smell out.
Starting yesterday, we started noticing an unpleasant taste and odor with our drinking water.
The smell of our tap water is atrocious. Even with a new filter in our fridge/freezer it doesn't help much. The Brita filter on the countertop pitcher definitely helps though (for whatever it filters out).
Water smells like dirt. Literally like soil. It’s been this way for at least a week, and nothing has made it better. I’ve tried bleach in the drains, thinking it was the pipes.
Left turns are increasingly dangerous at 3rd and Smith and 10th and Smith. We are very concerned with these particularly with new proposed east side development. Please let us know how traffic and particularly traffic safety concerns will be addressed with these city approved projects. The state may do roads but the city needs to coordinate and plan appropriately. Will there be a light on Morningside and 3rd with the new entrance across the way? That would help with bike and pedestrian crossing. A crosswalk and left turn lane on third and Smith? A left turn on Smith and 10th? These are real needs. And why does Ron Smith refuse emails and other messages from his constituents and neighbors? He persistently ignores anything controversial.
