💧 Water Quality Month Myth vs. Fact

MYTH: If water tastes or smells odd, it's unsafe.

FACT: Aesthetic issues (taste, colour, odor) don't always indicate health risks. Conversely, unsafe water may taste normal.

Taste, odor, and appearance can provide clues about water quality, but they don't always tell the whole story. #WaterQualityMonth #NationalWaterQualityMonth
