Boulder officials are alerting residents today that water customers in eastern parts of the city should expect their water to taste and smell differently due to new types of algae in Boulder Reservoir.
The area affected by the changes is east of Foothills Parkway, including Gunbarrel.
“The change in the water taste is due to certain algae present in the reservoir,” according to a news release. “Although there is always a mix of algae in the reservoir, particularly during warmer months, certain algae can produce a specific earthy or musty taste.”
The difference in taste and odor does not affect the quality of the water, officials said.
