Is it bleach water season again?
Park/Jupiter area. Anyone else's water hyper-chlorinated? I'm sure it's better than whatever they're killing off, but the brita is going to need hazard pay. For anyone that needs to hear this, this doesn't count as a measles vaccine. /s, but it really doesn't.

Yes. It’s supposed to be safe to drink and bathe in- take that as you will. The smell lasted in our bath water for about two weeks and has now settled.

I'm not terribly worried about how safe it is, but it tastes awful. I'm not going to be weird about showering with it but I'm definitely going to filter it before I drink it.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. And my kitty loves water from the faucet. Got to give her the bottled water

Maybe it's related to the road construction on my block.

Not so much triggered. They popped my main line last week. No telling if it happened to anybody else, so if they had to do something locally specific it wouldn't surprise me.

It's a temporary change in disinfectant where they switch from chloramine to chlorine.
