What You Can Do


What can you do at home?

The utilities are working intensively to understand and manage T&O. However, a repeat of the levels in 1998 and 1999 could result in some T&O in your drinking water. The substances that cause the T&O in drinking water, Geosmin/MIB, will dissipate from the water over time. Therefore, a loosely sealed glass container of water placed in the refrigerator overnight will provide water with less T&O.

If you need more information regarding taste and odour, contact your water utility. Links to their sites are on the Members page.
