    Rotten Egg smell in Bathroom When Hot Water is ON
    We get a rotten egg smell when the hot water is turned on in a bathroom. We are on city water. It last for about 5 minutes or more and then goes away. It starts up a again the next time we use the faucet. Have no clue and this has been happening for a few years now. MiKE

    Has your water heater been replaced recently? Or I should say, was the water heater replace a few years ago when this problem started?

    Is the smell limited to one faucet or is it in all your faucets? Let me know, Tom
