- Warning Signs That Bathroom Tap Water Should Not Be Drunk
Water that is unsafe is not always visibly different from clean water. Some contaminants cannot be detected by smell, taste, or appearance.
Nevertheless, certain changes should make you stop drinking the water until the problem has been investigated.
Cloudy or discolored water
Water that suddenly becomes brown, yellow, reddish, or unusually cloudy may indicate rust, sediment, plumbing problems, or another water-quality issue.
An unusual smell
A strong chemical, rotten, or otherwise unusual odor should not be ignored.
