Eventually I turned to the internet to see what was going on. I felt
vindicated when I read on the
water company
website:
Due to rains within the Missouri River watershed and the associated change in source water characteristics, customers may experience a slight yellow or greenish tint in certain locations within St. Louis County and Missouri American Water Customers in St. Charles County. Additionally, customers may experience taste and odor in their tap water. This taste and odor may range from a chlorine or chemical taste to an earthy musty taste and odor. Treatment measures are being utilized to minimize these conditions. Please be aware that there are no health risks. Our team is continuously testing to confirm safe drinking water standards are met. The water should return to normal by June 4th.Now I will drink my 'off' water without worry and know that things will be returning to normal soon.
Thank goodness! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI’ve grown up and been spoiled drinking San Francisco water- one of the best in the nation. It comes from comes from the beautiful Tuolumne River near Yosemite and the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Then we move up here and I drink bottled water! My husband says it’s all in my head. It’s supposedly comes from springs around Mt Shasta. In fact the bottled water I get is from those very springs but it’s something about the pipes. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteIt’s good you have nothing to worry about. Not like Flint Mi.
I really don't care for the water at my son's house in the Central Valley.
DeleteNothing wrong with your taste buds!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness!
DeleteI haven't noticed anything yet. But I know my water comes from the Meramec watershed. ... (I just went to look at the map.) ... You look like you are in the Missouri river watershed which is where the problem is. Lucky you! 😁
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that you live 10 minutes from me but draw from a different watershed.
DeleteYou are just barely in the Missouri River water shed. Right on the edge.
DeleteI drink bottled water that comes from various springs. I've once made an experience with boiling both tap water and mineral water - and the result made me opt for mineral water.
ReplyDeleteI boil tap water for tea.
DeleteIt's not nice when the tap water tastes off. Sometimes, our water tastes very chlorinated.
ReplyDeleteI dislike both the taste and smell of chlorine.
DeleteI'm glad it's still safe to drink.
ReplyDeletewow. So glad it's safe. But I'd still use filtered because I am a paranoid gal. :-) I always heard it was NYC water that was the best tasting. Since I only drink water or alcoholic beverages I can tell the difference in water from place to place I've lived. Everyone thinks I'm nuts but I can tell. I also drink about 2liters of water a day and that may account for some of it.
ReplyDeleteWe can get chilled filtered water through the refrigerator door, but most of the time I just turn on the tap and fill my cup.
DeleteYou have a keen sense of taste.
ReplyDeleteI try :-)
DeleteI'm impressed with your tasting abilities!
ReplyDeleteMy sense of smell has never been great, so thank goodness something works well.
DeleteThose with a sensitive Palate can tell the subtle nuances of a Change in The Force. *winks*
ReplyDelete:-)
Deletewhat a relief to know you were right
ReplyDeletei share your sensitivity regarding such things Kathy and most of the time i am right
