Foul-smelling water

STAGNATION, not algae blooms, has been the cause of the foul-smelling water recently on the Northside.

Public Works Deputy Director David Willis said the city recently tested the water and learned that “chlorine levels were slightly lower than usual.”

The city, after receiving a call from the Sun last week, decided to flush the system.

Willis said that as a result most of the foul-smelling and tasting water that Northsiders have experienced in recent weeks will soon be gone.
