What causes occasional taste and odor changes in Mesquite water?
All water has its own unique taste and odor characteristics. Mesquite, like many other water suppliers, occasionally experiences taste and odor changes. In the summer and early fall, algae in area lakes occasionally give water an earthy taste and odor. Temperature change and excessive rain also can alter taste. These changes do not affect the safety of the water. For additional information on the City of Mesquite’s water supply go to: http://www.cityofmesquite.com/utilities/faq.
