Mineral wells Information Release on the smell and taste on the current water:
City of Mineral Wells
Update From: The City of Mineral Wells Public Works Team:
Temporary change in water smell
We are aware that some residents have noticed a temporary change in the smell of the City's water supply following recent cold rainfall and temperature fluctuations. These weather changes can cause a natural "lake turnover," which brings nutrients from the bottom of the lake up into the water treatment process and treatment facility. While the changes in the smell may be noticeable, please know this is only a temporary aesthetic issue and does not impact water quality or safety. Our treatment processes and procedures remain unchanged, and disinfectant testing continues to show normal residual range throughout the system. The water remains safe to drink and use as normal. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as these seasonal environmental conditions work their way through the system.
