Water May Smell and Taste Funny, but Still Safe

By on November 14, 2012

IF YOU CAN SMELL YOUR TAP-WATER BEFORE YOU TASTE IT, YOU’RE NOT ALONE. BURLINGTON WATERWORKS CHIEF ALAN BORDEN SAYS WARMER TEMPERATURES AND UNUSUAL RIVER CONDITIONS HAVE TEAMED UP TO CREATE AN EARTHY, MUSTY SMELL & TASTE. THE NORMAL TREATMENT METHODS DIDN’T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SO THE DEPARTMENT HAS TRIED A MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH, WHICH SHOULD WORK IN ANOTHER DAY OR TWO. BORDEN SAYS THE WATER HAS BEEN SAFE TO DRINK ALL ALONG.
