All of a sudden, my tap water tastes like chlorine

[Rubyfruit]

Bleck.

And I like to drink a lot of water....it's basically all I drink. Well, you know, besides the essentials like coffee and wine.

Should I complain?

 

[Guest]

yes definatly let them know, if you dont they might not realize there is a problem!!we had the same problem once, took about 3 days for it to get back to normal.

 

[J.B.]

This is why I don’t drink tap water

Chlorine is often used to disinfect your water. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

 

[unclej]

i've been on a sweet water well for about twelve years now. just the smell of chlorinated water gags me. complain loud and often!

 

[greybeard]

most definately.............

it means the water supply is depleated............now they are draining the swimming pools...........and you know what happens there.............................more wine..............

I would contact...

Your water district or those responsible for the water quality. Then I would get a Brita, or PUR water filtration system, to make your coffee sparkly and bubbly in the future!

Okay, I'm not sure what my water company is called. Do you think the operator will?

I'll try.

If there is a bad problem, sometimes the water company has to give you free bottled drinking water. That's all I drink during the day and I am really sensitive to changes in the taste.

You should probably come to Chicago and have sex with me to make it all better.

*replacing Brita filter*

That's the best idea yet! *muah* Hello darling. You should call me.

Well, the very nice gentleman at my local water company sounded genuinly concerned about my complaint. He's sending somebody out tomorrow to test the water.

Be sure to put clothes on first. He'll never get anything done otherwise.

*pout* But that would take all of the fun out of the visit, Storm.

Ruby, try keeping a pitcher (two to alternate) in the 'fridge. The chlorine taste goes after a few hours and the water tastes ok again.



(Sorry, this is no good if you're angling for a visit from the "water guy")

 

[QuickDuck]

"the water guy".... well at least its different to the "lawn guy" or the "pool cleaner"

Also check for syphon hoses going from the closest swimming pool, to your sink ... just to be on the safe side

hey, i never said i would be helpful!

 

[Rubyfruit]

I can't help it if I have a thing for blue-collar boyz, Duckie. A man in uniform (UPS men...ummmm) or work boots, worn jeans and a tight t-shirt, is a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the tip, gp! I just put a pitcher in the fridge.

Try this next. Next time you go into the closet, pull out a gallon of water and pour a glass, make sure there isn't a big blue label on bottle before you drink it down.
