What can make water smell/taste bad?
Category:
Water Quality
Water can pick up tastes and odors from new pipe, from low usage in the treated water system,
or from natural elements in the source water. Taste and odor events often occur seasonally
during blooms of algae or aquatic plants. Although the plant material is removed during
treatment, sometimes the odors persist. Tastes and odors in treated water are not harmful, but
we do take steps to try and eliminate them.
