My water smells and tastes of Chlorine, Why?
For a few weeks, once or twice a year the water plant feeds "free" chlorine into the system instead of "combined" chlorine. Free chlorine is a better oxidizer and is very effective at keeping the distribution lines clean. Even though about the same amount of chlorine is in the system free chlorine can be smelt and tasted. The water is safe to drink when either type of chlorine feed is used.
