Why does the taste and odor of my water sometimes differ?  Water naturally varies in taste and odor at different times of the year.  Taste and odor problems can come from new or old pipelines, plumbing fixtures or changes in water quality.  Customers may notice changes during harvest season.

What cause discolored water?  Rusting galvanized pipe in home plumbing systems is the usual cause of discolored water.  If this is the case, the water clears after running a bit.  Iron causes the discoloration; its is not a health risk.  If you hot water is the only rusty colored water, then you may need to flush your water heater.  If you flush your water heater, please follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
