RE: mold in water?

[Guest guest]

I dont drink my town water as I smell mold in it too. I drink all bottled

water. Usually Poland Springs. Even make my coffee with it.

Water often has an off odor caused by decaying organic matter. If you are

in a larger city, the residual chlorine from the chlorination process should

prevent mold growth. Unfortunately, chlorination does not destroy these

dissolved organics. that is best achieved by activated carbon filtration, as

done in some cities, recommended by EPA. If your city is not one of these,

you can try a faucet filtration system, available from most home improvement

stores, such as Lowes or Home Depot. Even a simpler filter such as a Brita

pitcher type filter should help remove these dissolved organics. These

filters also remove residual chlorine, destroying its taste. Though

expensive, this should be more inexpensive than continually using bottled

water. Ask neighbors if any have filters and smell their filtered water.

After being driven crazy trying to find where the moldy smell is coming from

in the kithen sink area and the bathroom , I put a glass of water up to my

nose- and the water smells moldy, could this be possible and what do I do

about it? I have city water and sewage

Thanks,
