Water
Have other Davis-area folks been noticing a strong bleach / swimming-pool chlorine sort of smell to their tap water this past week?
(I have, strong enough that I wasn't comfortable drinking it, and I called the MWRA about it last night, but their "24-hour" taste & odor line is just a voicemail box. I plan to try to get a human on the phone tomorrow, and it would be helpful to know how far the problem extends.)

this is probably why my family thinks I have no sense of humour, you know.
I make jokes, I just apparently make them in Sumerian.

Sometimes here when there are problems with the ozone system, they fall back to using chlorine. I hadn't noticed (and like I said, I've become generally sensitive to it), but it is quite certainly at safe-to-drink levels (because most of it is eliminated as part of the purification process). However, if you're concerned (or just don't like the taste), let the water sit for a while before drinking it. Or use a Brita filter.

From your comment and from the FAQ, it doesn't seem like this change is expected: normally it comes with higher water usage in the summer, and there haven't been any problems that you know of. Is that correct?
My water does NOT smell at all...

I'm in the West corner of Somerville, just North of North St. and Powderhouse Blvd. if it matters.
