Minneapolis Residents Have Options When It Comes to ‘Smelly’ Water

Recently, Minneapolis residents have been complaining of “smelly” and “bad-tasting” water coming from their city-provided tap water. In a response to these concerns, Culligan Water of Minneapolis is undertaking efforts to educate the area’s citizens about filtration options for the city’s treated water.

“If you are not satisfied with the quality of water coming from your tap, there are solutions out there for you, “ says Kyle LeMay, sales manager of Culligan Water of Minneapolis. “For example, installing a carbon or reverse osmosis filter is one of the best and most economical choices available to improve the taste and condition of the water in your home or office.”

A reverse osmosis filter uses multiple membranes and filters in order to remove various contaminants, both organic and inorganic – including sodium, lead, zinc and pesticides. This type of filtration system is shown to actually remove 99.9% of impurities from the water.

This line of products has become even more relevant since recent news cycles around the country have been filled with city water issues, from rocket fuel component perchlorates to cancer-causing radon.

Even if the Minneapolis’ city water meets the federal and state standards as safe to drink, there still may be trace elements of harmful agents. These filters are considered one of the surest ways to prevent water-borne chemicals and contaminants from affecting yourself, your children and your pets.

“Water is essential to health and any concern about its quality should be addressed quickly and thoroughly,” adds LeMay. “Unappetizing water sets off its own chain of events because it causes hesitation when you reach for that glass of water. You should be confident in the water you drink and cook with, at the very least – it shouldn’t smell.”
