Finally came back in town after a long while and noticed a strong odor at two different restaurants.

All the more reason to just drink alcohol, I suppose.

The water in BR is some of the best tasting around the country imo

At one point BR was rated as second cleanest in the country.

Water always tastes different when you are away from home. Baton Rouge may have problems, but the water supply isn’t one of them.

Went to school in late 80s early 90s, the water was garbage.

BR water comes from the finest aquifer isn the country. Enjoy it before the saltwater intrusion takes affect.

Their in house water filter needs to be changed. I love Rocca, but I’ve noticed that the last couple of times I’ve gone. Baton Rouge water should be practically oderless.

BR has buckets full of problems, but water quality isn’t one of them.

Just you. Good tap water is about the only thing this town has going for it.

If it stinks, it’s a restaurant problem, not a BR water problem.

And to the idiots talking about chemical plants, first, they don’t pull water from the aquifer for their cooling water. A few might do that a little, but that has no affect on the quality of the water you would drink. And that would be extremely expensive for them. And secondly, maybe learn about where the water that goes into the aquifer comes from, b/c it ain’t Baton Rouge.

Only if you bring it outside in a glass will it stink.

My wife certainly claims it’s nasty. No proof to back this up, but she figures everything else in this state is dirty so why not the water.

I always knew it as egg water, because of the smell.

All restaurant water tastes weird, it’s because the cups aren’t that clean.

Something is wrong with your pipes/water heater/screen/etc.
