The past few days there has been a strong order coming from our water. I now see in the paper that there was a water issue on Dana Lane in Meriden, Ct. as well.

My water has tasted and smelled awful since the weekend here on Tulip Drive. I did call the Water Dept. yesterday and reported it. However, this morning's paper said they only had complaints from Dana Lane, so didn't work on other streets. Do they really think the bad water suddenly got better after it flowed beyond Dana Lane? We often have foul tasting water in the late summer, but it is really difficult to believe algae blooms in November are the cause of this.

Larry Kendzior, City Manager wrote 1 day ago on a similar issue:

"According to the Director of Public Utilities, there was a late algae bloom this weekend. Dana Lane water lines will be flushed today. The Broad Brook reservoir will be shut down this morning and treatment started. The water was tested last week and is safe to drink despite the odor."

Why don't I recall any "late algae blooms" when growing up in Meriden?? The water has NEVER tasted this bad until the past few years...has to be a reason for this beyond the late algae bloom, no? AND..yes it goes way beyond Dana Lane as stated in the paper yesterday. I am on Johnson Avenue and see that there are issues in South Meriden so it is covering a wide area now.

Please also confirm what is being used to treat the water. I am thinking it is copper sulfate and I for one am allergic to sulfates so if this is the case it would explain my very dry itchy skin from showering in this swamp water.

I agree with all of the above. The water is soooo bad that we buy bottled water to drink. But the concern is for showering, laundry and washing dishes. I do not think it is safe nor do I think we should have to pay for the water during the time it is unusable! If the problem was on Dana Lane, the town should have checked into this situation further and notified the residents in ALL areas.

I live at 98 Pleasant Street in Meriden, and the water taste is horrible at my house as well. It started a few days ago, like everyone else has been reporting. This seems to be a city-wide issue. This needs to be fixed.

Webb St. in S. Meriden, also, bad bad smell and taste. Since Saturday! If this happens so often, why isnt it watched for and taken care of before hand! A terrible way to take care of your residents. Will we get a credit on our water bills? You people need to step up in City Hall.

Water smell and taste seems to be a tad better today; very faint but still there. I am wondering now if this problem is inside the pipes as opposed to being in the water itself? Perhaps this algae has grown inside the pipes that connect the water flow to the homes in the city? What is everyone's opinion on this?

What good does all the complaints do, the water still tastes bad. Its over a week and even though they shut off broad brook. for how long I dont know, it stillo tastes kind of crummy. This happened on the weekend b/4. If noone works on the weekend and the water gets contaminated somehow and theres noone there to check on it and you get sick or whatever. Then what lawsuits.

Because the issue has been resolved. Will I see a great on my next water bill for this issue? I believe it is a fair request as a tax payer of the town.
