Where does YOUR water come from?

And what's in it?

Read about the Tarrant Regional Water District and their maintenance work that will be changing the taste of your water is you live in parts of Fort Worth or Burleson, Crowley, Kennedale, Haltom City, Hurst, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills, Dalworthington Gardens, Edgecliff Village, Forest Hill and Grand Prairie, as well as Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. (Fort Worth Star-Telegram).

The difference in taste is caused by higher algae blooms in Benbrook Lake compared with those found in East Texas lakes. The water will be fully treated but if the algae count is at an extremely high level, there may be a noticeable difference in taste.

Our water taste has changed to the flavor of minerals in the last month and 1/2. We also have a natural gas well nearby-very close:right at the edge of our neighborhood which we suspect could have something to do (however small) with the flavor of it. So, unless algae tastes like minerals,?? The water still tastes funny. We have a "brita" like filter though, for it, so I try not to think about it.
