SOMETHING IN THE WATER?

I've lived in my house in Saint Cloud now for a little over three years. Over that period of time, I've never had this happen until a few weeks ago.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I turned on the water in my bathroom sink to get ready for work one morning. I noticed this strange smell of gas, that occurred only when I turned on the running water. I thought it was strange, but just went back to getting ready, and thought that maybe it was something with the city water, and assumed that it would be gone in a few days.

THE SMELL THAT WON'T GO AWAY

Now weeks later, I still have that same weird gassy smell every time I turn on my bathroom sink.

It doesn't seem to be there when I use the shower in the same bathroom upstairs. I haven't even bothered to check if the smell happens in my bathroom on the lower level of my house, but I haven't noticed it when I'm washing clothes in the basement.

My question: Is this smell something I should address? Is it a dangerous situation? Do I have a gas leak in my house and I just don't know it?

I found this interesting information on smelly water, so before I go worrying about a gas leak in my house, I'm going to see if any of these examples fit my situation.

ODORS IN YOUR WATER

  • Do the odors occur in all faucets?
  • Do the odors go away after running the water for a few minutes?
  • Does the smell only happen in one room of your home?
  • Does only the hot water smell?
  • Does only the cold water smell?
  • Does both hot and cold water smell?

Finding the answers to these questions can help you discover what your problem is and where it is stemming from.
