Residents in Cañon City have raised concerns about the safety of their drinking water after reports of foul smell and taste. The issue has prompted local officials to investigate the source of the odor and flavor.
Water officials have conducted testing and confirmed that the water meets safety standards. They suggest that the unpleasant characteristics may be linked to the very low flows on the Arkansas River, which can affect water quality. The investigation continues as authorities monitor conditions.
