What causes occasional taste and odor changes in Sachse’s water?
The City of Sachse received our water supply from the North Texas Municipal Water District. A natural occurrence in all surface water supplies, an “algal bloom” is responsible for the taste and odor changes in the treated drinking water supply. Algal blooms usually occur in Lavon Lake in late July and into August each year, but can occur at any time if the right conditions exist in the water supply reservoir.
