REGULATED CONTAMINANTS TESTED IN 2022

FUNNY TASTE OR SMELL?

Occasionally, water suppliers experience unpleasant odors and tastes in the water, often characterized as “earthy” or “musty.” These taste and odor variations are caused by naturally occurring algae growth in one source of your drinking water, such as Eagle Mountain Lake.

The compounds that cause this particular taste and smell are called secondary constituents and are often found in drinking water, causing changes in taste, color, and odor. These secondary constituents do not pose a public health risk. We report information about these compounds to keep you informed about your drinking water.
