Description

Since yesterday morning my water has been smelling of sulfur as if it is well water. This smell is probably enhanced by my tankless hot water heater which probably drives out the smell when it heats the water. I can however, smell sulfur when I pour a glass of cold water, too. I can find no MI announcement of changes in the water system that would account for this smell. The quantity of water involved leads me to believe that this is a system wide problem and not one unique to my location.
