Discolored or bad-tasting water

Chlorine treatment and aging distribution lines can create taste and odor issues in Altadena's water supply. Residents often notice stronger chemical tastes during summer months when treatment levels may be adjusted for safety.

Sediment or particles in water

Mineral particles and sediment from the regional water system occasionally appear in Altadena homes, particularly after maintenance work on distribution lines. This is most noticeable in areas with older service connections throughout established neighborhoods.
