What's That Rotten Egg Smell in My Water?

INFO FLASH:

It's not common, but it's not exactly unusual either - a stinky rotten smell in your house's tap water, usually on the hot side but sometimes on both the hot and cold water sides. We have it happen most often for our Napa customers who are on well water, but folks in Sonoma Valley experience it on occasion as well.

What's that all about?

Well, there are a couple of possible reasons for a rotten egg smell emanating from your water supply: a reaction between sulfates in the water and bacteria and/or a problem with the anode rod in your water heater. Fortunately, there are realtively simple things you can do to address the problem.
