Water Quality

Case Date:

The smell and taste of the water has been absolutely disgusting for at least 3 weeks. Has the cause been found yet? It makes me nauseated to run the tap in my home. Ive been in MC for 6 years, even with hot dry summers, its never been like this. We want answers

For the past couple of weeks our water has been having a strange taste and smell. It is definitely not drinkable nor appropriate to even brush your teeth. We live in the North Side of Bloomington in Matlock Heights neighborhood on E Vernon Ave.

No problem here - I love the way the water's been for the past few weeks! It tastes like drinking out of the hose when I was a kid. Don't change a thing! It seems to be helping the plants, too.

My water smells and tastes like dirt. I understand there have been some issues with water quality in Bloomington, but this has been going on for several weeks. What is being done about this issue?

The water smells and tastes TERRIBLE!! It seems that this is a recurring problem. I suspect there is a solution that the city is unwilling to implement. It is unacceptable to have this problem every year. Calling it an aesthetic problem is a cop out. I should not have to buy bottled water to have drinkable water.

Hello, I live on Rock Creek Drive in Bloomington and have just noticed a mass of dead fish (and bad odor) in Jackson Creek. Is there any information about what happened? Thank you and all the best, Tomasz

Hi, bit of an odd request. I have a few aquariums, and I use tap water conditioned to remove chlroine. I usually do a water parameter test before refilling my tank, and sometimes the pH can fluctuate from 6.2 - 9.0 within two tests in the same day. Is there any data on the pH of the cities tapwater that I could be sent? Second question, what would cause that big of a variance within 6hrs? If this would be too much to ask, or the wrong place to ask, please kindly ignore this message.

We have very little water pressure in the entire house suddenly this morning with no leaks or issues. Is there a larger issue?

Is there any chance people with coconut allergies will be affected with the coconut powder added to the water treatment?

Water Quality

Water quality has gotten extremely bad the last week. We (Starbucks store) monitor our water filtration system regularly and normally need to change the filter every 3-4 months (filters are rated to last up to 6 months but they ask us to change them once they become "latte colored"). Saturday 6/28, we found that our water filter was nearly completely black despite being only 1 month old. We changed the filter on Sunday 6/29 and within 24 hours it had already turned "latte colored" (tan). By Tuesday 7/1, it had already turned a dark brown and we had our water filtration system contractor Icee come out and check over the system, run a refresh, and change all changeable parts. Today, Saturday 7/5, the filter is back to being a dark brown color. We are concerned about what is in the water coming through our system and for those around us consuming tap water.
