Spring melt impacting water taste and odour, but not safety

If you’re noticing an unusual taste or odour coming from your residential water outlets, don’t worry. It’s perfectly normal and necessary.

Higher doses of chlorine are treating recent snowmelt and associated runoff at the City of Lethbridge Water Treatment Plant. The water remains safe for consumption and can be used as normal.

As treatment adjustments take effect and the water in the system gets used, the taste and odour will return to normal.
