Water coming out of taps BROWN.
Water coming out of taps BROWN.
Orange tap water.
We have noticed that our water quality has been pretty awful the past couple of weeks. It tastes like algae/moldy and smells. We have never noticed our water quality this bad since we have lived in Bloomington the past 12 years and are concerned that there is something dangerously bad with our drinking water. Can this please be checked as we have residents who have health issues and don't need them to be aggravated due to bad water. Thank you.
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 tap water smells sulpheric(rotten eggs) since yesterday morning. 3/10 strength.
Other: water is causing hair to feel brittle and cannot brush; causing hair to fall out in clumps
Water has been tasing bad lately, much more like lake water
Water coming through faucets and toilet fills is very dark copper colored.
As of Tuesday, our water in our house has started to smell and taste strange, a mix between a musty and a chemical smell. It is really noticeable, and I'm concerned that something has happened that has made our water unsafe to drink suddenly. I would love for someone to come test the water or investigate this issue further as soon as possible. Thank you!
I started taking shower at about 6:10 am this morning Friday Oct 8th. Turned both hot and cold water on in tub so temperatures stabilize- after about 1min the water suddenly turned black with some "glop" that came out of tub faucet. Water gradually cleared after about 30 to 45 sec.
