There are a variety of factors that can impact the taste or smell of tap water but not change the quality of the water. In Charleston Water's case, algae in our surface water—when put through the treatment process—can give off harmless compounds that may cause the water to taste “earthy” or “musty.” In most cases, taste and odor are purely aesthetic concerns, and are not reliable indicators of water quality.

If it is drinking water supplied by a public utility, or is drawn from a private well, you should call the Bureau of Health Protection Services at 775-687-4650.

Water is the best solvent on earth. If you leave water in the fridge without a proper seal / lid any smells or odours within your fridge will be absorbed by the water.

Store some drinking water in a closed glass container in the refrigerator (warm drinking water has more taste than cold drinking water). Although plastic bottles are okay for storing drinking water in the refrigerator, some types of plastic will cause a taste in the water. If you are having trouble, use a different plastic bottle. Some people object to the chlorine taste of their drinking water. Boiling tap water for 5 minutes should remove most of the disinfectant, if not all of it.

A harmless unpleasant taste or smell may occur from algae that grow naturally in lakes, rivers and canals. Some odor may remain present, even after the water has been treated and filtered at the treatment plant. Chlorine, used for disinfecting the water, may also produce a harmless taste and odor. Other causes may be bacteria growing in your water heater if it has been sitting unused or corrosion in the water heater internal anode. The most common odor causing problem comes from the drain.

If you recently moved from an area where the water contained very few naturally occurring minerals, your new water may taste different due to the minerals it contains. Just as various brands of bottled water taste different due to the varying levels of different minerals they contain, so the taste of domestic drinking water varies with its source. It could be that you're simply not used to the new taste yet.

Drinking water is available at most developed campgrounds. When it is not provided, water should always be treated with purification tablets or iodine, by boiling, or by filtering. One safe method of treatment is boiling vigorously for 3-5 minutes to kill parasitic organisms which may be present. To improve taste, add a pinch of salt to each quart of boiled water or pour it back and forth from one clean container to another several times. More on drinking water...

The first thing to do is to check the "Enjoy By" date. It the date has passed, please discard the product. If the "Enjoy By" date is still more than 5 months ahead, then the kimchi may not have fermented sufficiently. You can leave the kimchi out overnight (in the sink) and replace it in the refrigerator the next day. You should then be able to enjoy the full-flavor of the kimchi.

Clark, a former subscriber to the Kombucha list, says: "My only experience so far after about 10 weeks of drinking the K-tea was to become dehydrated after about 5-6 weeks. This manifested itself as constant physical and mental fatigue (my chiropractor aptly described it as brain fog) and finally my lips became dry and cracked.

Because radon in indoor air is the larger health concern, EPA recommends that you first test the air in your home for radon before testing for radon in your drinking water. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes for radon in indoor air (and apartments located below the third floor). EPA recommends that you take action to reduce your home's indoor radon levels if your radon test result is 4 pCi/L or higher.

If you have your own well, you are responsible for making sure that your water is safe to drink. Private wells should be tested annually for nitrate and coliform bacteria to detect contamination problems early. Test more frequently and for other contaminants, such as radon or pesticides, if you suspect a problem.

Fresh water ponds in the dunes, they can drink from sound sometimes. Although the sound does connect to the ocean at Oregon Inlet, the sound in Corolla remains fresh and drinkable because of the many miles of distance between the two points.

Public water supply customers can contact their local utility and request a copy of the Annual Water Quality Report (or Consumer Confidence Report). This report is a summary of the water test results obtained by the utility for the previous year. This report lists the following:

Intentional contamination of the water supply is thought to be highly unlikely. Water treatment facilities routinely filter the drinking water supply, add chlorine in order to kill harmful germs and regularly test for contaminants.

Pour-through water filters (like Brita) do not remove fluoride from the water. Either reverse osmosis or distillation must occur for fluoride to be removed. The NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) has a complete database of water filtration devices on their website. You can search by manufacturer to find out what is removed with your device.
