WEIRD WATER? Tap water smelling, tasting different? DEP has zeroed in on cause

If you thought your tap water has been tasting and smelling different -- the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says you're right.

It has been happening in certain areas of Philadelphia and some suburbs.

It turns out there is an issue with tap water sourced from the Schuylkill River.

Officials with the DEP say there have been elevated levels of a naturally occurring bacteria that's nontoxic and not harmful. But the taste of the water and smell of it has changed.
