The unusual taste and smell of the city water some residents have experienced is the result of an imbalance in the treatment chemicals. The water remains safe for consumption and other uses.
Our water utility personnel are correcting the imbalance, and flushing the system to return the taste and smell of the water to normal. You may see them around the city at various locations, and that process will be completed today.
Residents should continue to use the water as usual, and the taste and smell will return to normal. Thank you for your patience as we work to address this issue as quickly as possible.
