What could cause my water to have a very strong chlorine smell?
After a heavy rain or during the dry spell in the summer, the city of Akron may have to treat the water with more chlorine. This will clear up in a few days or so.
Place the water in an open container and let sit for a while before drinking or using for cooking.
