Discolored, smelly tap water. That can't leave a good taste in your mouth


Residents near Lake Houston complain of smelly, discolored water

KHOU 11 News,  Houston, Texas
HOUSTON—Residents in a brand new neighborhood on the shores of Lake Houston say the biggest problem they have is what drew them here in the first place: the water.
It’s not the water in the lake, but the water coming from their taps that is the trouble. They said the water is discolored brown, white, even pink sometimes and horrible smelling.
Hundreds of residents met Thursday night to try and decide exactly what they can do to get the problem fixed.
The MUD district said that it is doing all it can, most recently sending a letter to residents telling them about a hyper chlorination program that started last week.
The water is a mix of the lake and well water, and people who live here say it is still a problem.
One resident showed us the water in his bathroom sink.
