"City Assures Safety of Tap Water"
Grants Pass, Oregon - Despite reports of an unpleasant odor in tap water, the City of Grants Pass confirms that the water is safe for consumption. Adam Smith, the Water Filtration Plant Superintendent, conducted tests on the tap water to eliminate any harmful toxins associated with algae and Cyanobacteria.
"Investigating the Source"
The city is actively investigating the source of the odor and currently suspects that compounds naturally occurring in rivers and lakes, the city's water sources, are the culprits. Smith mentioned that it is not unusual for tap water to have a distinct taste or smell, and the city utilizes a multi-barrier process to remove any potential toxins, leaving only a natural terpene that may contribute to the unusual aroma.
"Solving the Issue"
To address the smell in tap water, Smith suggests replacing activated carbon filters to minimize the odor. Grant Pass assures the public that despite the odor, the tap water remains safe to drink, and efforts are ongoing to resolve the issue and enhance water quality for residents."
