Ms. Green called. The property at 805 E. Grimes Lane has experienced bad tasing water for at least two weeks. The water tastes "dirty" or "muddy." The property may be in the name of John Musselman. Ms. Green is not sure whose name the service is in. I explained to Ms. Green about "lake turnover," but she would like to have lab contact her and run a test anyway. A copy of the complaint was faxed to Dillman for a lab test to be run.
Ms. Rush called re. a bad taste in her water. She says the water has a "quinine" taste and has for about a week. Work was done on the street in front of her house, and she felt that this was due to that.
Ms. Albright called to complain that her water has tasted bad for 3 weeks. She that it tastes "moldy." Ms. Albright further stated that she lives close to the "Y," and the water tasted the same there.
Water has bad taste & odor.
Taste and odor of water is bad. Tests performed by Dillman Lab all indicate water is of good quality. May be related to turn over of Lake Monroe waters.
