Taste and Odor Issue in the Drinking Water
The earthy taste and odor issue that some customers may be experiencing in the water is only aesthetic in nature. The water is safe to consume.
This is a seasonal issue, due to warm weather conditions and lack of adequate rainfall. The ability to detect this taste and odor will vary among individuals. Some people can notice it and others cannot.
Customers can keep water in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator, Keeping the water cool makes the taste and odor less noticeable.
