Where I live, we seem to be located close to a dead end of a water
main. This causes us no end of problems, as the water always seems
to
be stagnant and filled with sediment unless I get the local
authority
to flush out the hydrant every couple of weeks, to which they object
bitterly. This weekend, things have come to a head, as the water has
become slimy! It is horrible to shower in, and undrinkable. Could it
be related to the season we are in, and algae growth? The clothes
smell horrible after being washed too, particularly the towels. We
live in a very built up residential suburb, but most houses
canvassed
on this dont have any water problems, seems to be just us
somehow....
what can I do??


Take a glass of water for the head honchos at the utility to drink If
they refuse, you've got a good case.
