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.)

I've never noticed a chlorine smell in the water in our apartment building on Grove St., but we're in the process of moving down the road to a condo near Highland & Willow Ave. right now and I definitely noticed a chlorine smell and slightly blue-tinted water there the first time I filled up the tub with water. I'm a little bit worried because we keep aquatic turtles as pets and will be using that water to fill up their tanks...

Yep, we keep fish and now we're keeping the water in a bowl for a day or so before putting it in their tanks. We dechlorinate with the basic Top Fin solution too.
