Anyone else having the same issue?

Southwest end

Yes... North end

Didn’t notice the smell, but it is definitely cloudy tonight. Southwest.

I have been noticing the last week that my water smells like bleach. Is this normal and safe? I live in west end

West end

It’s chlorine to treat the water for iron and bacteria and iron bacteria. It’s safe levels but typical around this time of year and spring as the water changes so does the need to treat it. The city also did water main flushing (you can see the signs, actual signs, post when they do it), this stirs up sediment in the lines so a dose of chlorine through the lines kills any harmful bacteria. In short, the city is making our water safe for human consumption and that’s it. Nowhere is it necessary to make it smell like flowers or taste like rainbows

you may be near a booster station as well. This is another spot where chlorine is added, also if you let the water sit for a few minutes the chlorine will dissipate

Yes … East end. I ran a bath the other day and it smells like bleach

sure glad my house has a distiller hooked to water line coming house then drinking water tastes better plus the distiller when clean sure looks brownish yellow
