Wouldja Like A Shot of Smoke in That Venti Cup of Water?
Notice a smoky taste in your tap water? Apparently storm runoff from the recent wildfires is giving H2O in Southern California a campfire-inspired taste.
The L.A. Times reports that only tap water drinkers with a discriminating palate will likely notice:
Rainfall washed ashes from the fires that burned through the San Bernardino Mountains in October and November and into Lake Silverwood, a major source of water for the Weymouth Filtration Plant in La Verne, said Jill Wicke of the Metropolitan Water District. Although the water retains a smoky taste after purification, it poses no health hazard to consumers, she said.
Water officials are mixing in more Colorado River water to dilute the flavor. I like my water minty.
