LETTERS: Their water tastes funny

Concerning Granger water: We have experienced water problems ever since we moved to Granger more than 10 years ago. We have no well or septic system. We have city water, established through the former Clay Utilities and city sewer. The water heaters in our neighborhood are constantly being replaced. We have had five in the 10 years we have lived here. We were told that it was electrolysis so we installed a ring. We have a perforated copper pipe as proof. Recently, when the furnace man hooked up our humidifier, there was reddish gunk in the line. He said that it was bacterial iron. We have neighbors who refuse to drink the water. Sometimes our water smells and tastes terrible -- sometimes like chlorine. Should we drink it? We would welcome any answers.
