Some Metropolitan Utilities District (MUD)<\/a> customers have asked why the water seems to taste different. MUD said it is experiencing spring runoff from the upper tributaries of the Missouri River. Flooding, increased snow melt and rainfall are contributing factors. <\/p>\n

Although the district has not increased the amount of chlorine in the water, it has increased the amount of time the chlorine is exposed to the water before converting it to chloramines. This may cause changes in taste and odor, however, the water is still safe to drink. MUD expects this runoff and treatment process to continue for several weeks.<\/p>\n

MUD says the water continues to meet all state and federal standards for drinking water. For more information about water treatment processes, visit MUD’s water quality page.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
