Vegas Water Smell Mystery | Albuquerque News

Las Vegas residents are reporting foul-smelling tap water that smells like rotten fish or sewage, prompting many to switch to bottled water for drinking, cooking, and even brushing teeth. The city blames record heat and drought for disrupting chlorine’s effectiveness in the pipes, forcing them to blend water from low-flow sources like Storrie Lake — a mix that’s allegedly causing the odor. Some say their kids are breaking out in rashes, and stagnant water due to restrictions is making things worse. Officials say they’re flushing lines and testing daily, assuring the water is safe — but warn it may improve once temps cool and rain returns. If you’re still worried, they urge you to contact them directly for a personal check-up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
