Hi Ryan,

Can you take a look into this? I believe it's a combination of a few things. Possibly construction and warm river temps. I will send him a message, that someone will get back to him. If you don't feel comfortable, please let me know.

Thanks!

Jenn

Hello Jennifer,

This may not be the right avenue for this but I'm not sure what the correct one would be.

My name is Douglas A Taylor and I live at 307 S Cole Ave here in Molalla. My home phone is 503 759 4402 and my Cell is 503 781 5170.

Over the past few weeks, for some reason, the water quality/taste at my home has gotten very bad. I has ranged from tasting/smelling like pool water to the smell and taste of Miracle Grow plant food. Filtering is somewhat effective but I am used to being able to get a drink of water from the kitchen tap.

At first I believed this to be excessive chlorination maybe due to the construction down town and that might still be at least part of the issue but I'm beginning to think not.

Today my water is ok and that happened once before during this stretch. In some cases boiling or even just using it to brew coffee would remove some of the odor/taste but not in all.

Is there someplace I can call or someone I can contact if this continues,

Thanks,

Douglas A Taylor

Very concerned in Molalla
