Water that smells & tastes like dirt

That's right folks our water smells and tastes like dirt. Apparently the two lakes from where all our water comes from "turn over" twice a year, and that causes all the water to smell and taste like dirt. It is quite gross. You turn the shower on and the water smells like dirt, you start the washing machine and the water smells like dirt, you flush the toilet and you smell dirt. The worst is when you forget, and use tap water to take a medication. It about makes you puke. I am not sure we'll ever adjust to Oklahoma.

  1. Sounds like a whole lot of fun...is it just a smell? If it's just a smell then I doubt if a water purifier will help. Okalahoma is really a great place!

  2. never a dull moment in your home! Does the water smell like frest wet dirt or just plain old dry dirt? Just curious.

  3. It smells just like you've watered a potted plant (it tastes the same way too).
