    Well water smell
    Our well water has recently started smelling. It is not the egg smell but more like a mineral smell. We noticed it in the shower first, then started noticing it in the sink as well. Neighbors have bad water that smells like egg and they don't drink it anymore. I was hoping to find a solution to ours before it got to that stage. Could recent harsh weather have anything to do with it?

    If you have a state or municipal lab nearby, the first step would be to get it tested.
