Chlorine Smell in Austin Water | Texas News
Description
If you’re in Round Rock, Leander, Cedar Park, Georgetown, or Liberty Hill, your water might smell like chlorine this month — but don’t panic. It’s a planned, annual switch to straight chlorine from chloramine to combat bacteria buildup during hot weather. The water is still safe to drink and use, though you may notice the odor. Letting water sit in an open pitcher helps reduce the smell. Aquarium owners should use a conditioner, and dialysis patients may need to adjust equipment — but for everyone else, it’s just a temporary fix. This coordinated effort across multiple cities ensures clean water through August.
