I know I moved recently, but before that, for the last one or two years of my time near Lake Erie, the water has been rather strange-tasting, and I do not know if that is my imagination.

My family had started using water jugs and a water cooler for drinking water after the algal bloom scare a few years ago along with its warning not to drink tap water during the incedent.

I know lake Erie is not the best water source in the world, but I want to know if it is not just me. Has anyone else had any trouble with lake water?

I am talking about tap water, not directly drinking from the Lake, that would make most people sick I think.
