Stinky Water

Minneapolis is attacking water odor

Excerpt:

Gayle Bonneville was standing at her bathroom sink a couple of weeks ago in northeast Minneapolis, getting ready to wash her face, when she smelled it again: A "swampy, musky, fishy" scent coming from the faucet.

Why do I keep getting whiffs of that in spring? she wondered.

Not to worry, city officials said: It's an annual effect of snow-melt carrying extra bits of decomposing leaves into the Mississippi River, where the city gets its water.

Comment: I'm glad that Plymouth gets its water from wells!
