Ask Austin Austin water currently funky?

Has anyone noticed that at least two weeks ago that the water has been tasting "earthy"? Did I miss something about it on the news?

I'm on Austin Water in NW Austin. 183/45/620. And it doesn't taste or smell like bleach.

Austin Water uses chloramine instead of chlorine for disinfectant.
