BTPWD receives inquiries from time to time regarding taste and odor changes in the drinking water.
BTPWD is considered a purchase system wherein we purchase water from the City of Bloomington to redistribute. The City of Bloomington makes sure our water is safe to drink, and works hard to meet customer expectations for water’s aesthetic characteristics—its taste, odor, and appearance.
Unpleasant tastes and odors are the most common cause of customer concerns, however most contaminants that cause aesthetic problems in drinking water are not considered a threat to human health.
