I thought I was imagining things yesterday morning in the shower. Smelled very sludgey. I feel like I smell like zebra mussels after my showers

Sounds like you didn’t fully finish waffle-stomping your shit down the shower drain. 

[Celery Man 20933]

Noticed it this morning in the shower (enough that I could smell it on me later) and was thinking back to something I saw on Facebook about zebra mussels. Been drinking a lot of topo and Waterloo (unrelated) and just noticed it brushing my teeth. Yuck. Putting bottled water in the coffee maker and jugs of it on the grocery list. 78745, maybe the water smelling like zebra ass is a south thing.

78749 and it didn't hit us till last night. Tried making coffee with it this morning and the smell was too much. Luckily I had some bottles to use until this passes. 

Otherwise I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode smelling like "the Beach". 

[phdhorn 6224]

"Man I hate the smell of all those damn transplanted Californians in the morning!"

[Red Five 40847]

Can confirm it was noticeably worse in 78749 this morning.

If Austin can keep this streak up, we may be able to avoid mandatory water rationing this summer.

Between the snowfall and bad seafood water, maybe it will keep the Californians from moving here.

Unfortunately they’re into that kind of thing.

Think how lush the grass will be with the water already having fertilizer in it!

The lack of proactive communication from the City is stunning.  We learned absolutely nothing from the October debacle other than my water smells like Ann Kitchen's Soul.  

[SubliminalHorn 6786]

I learned about it from my apartment complex before the city announced anything. Austin sure does come across as a fucking 2nd rate city when shit like happens just like last year. 

[deter 314]

Weird.

[hayden_horn 11362]

Can confirm terrible tasting water at Crockett High the other night. Jesus H Christ, Austin utilities are worthless 

[Al Czervik 1229]

Drained the hot water heater twice now.  Still stanks.

Time to release the Lion mussels.

Did you think the mussels were in your water heater?

North Central- No poo smell this morning or when I went home for lunch.

In the water or just in general?

No.

Their butthole water is in my water heater.

My boat bottom is another issue.

But did you change your password, though?

I’m in the '50 and the '59* and haven’t had any stank.

78703 smells like a hermit crab bucket from Galveston. 

78756 was good when I took a shower at week today.  

[hayden_horn 11362]

78748. Totally gross. You're telling me that it smells like dead mussels, but it's totally healthy? Bollocks. I showered and smell like dead water creatures.

Well, it could be that...and go with me here...you’re just a stinky motherfucker.

[Guest Lobo]

I’m not opening my mouth or eyes in the shower.  Not because of the odor, but because I’m Jewish.  We were right all along on shellfish!

Somehow the smelly water never made it to my residence (Barton Hills), even that first morning. When I got to my office (downtown) that first day though it smelled like death.

[Deej 76756]

Clam water finally made it to 78753 today. Geez...awful. 

I guess I could mix it with beer and tomato juice.

[Anastasis 23464]

Austin utility clown show. 

[Biff Tannen 45667]

78751 still in the clear.  Knock on wood.

[Red Five 40847]

We all get comped on our water bill for the past few days right? 

[Guest Lobo]

Please tell me one of the 97 craft breweries in Austin is gonna make a spoof Clamato beer outta this.  Some kinda Zebra Michelada.   If they pull the joke off correctly, it’d sell a million cases. 

[William_Cannon 86]

This is gonna save me some money....kids have never showered so quickly in their lives!

[phdhorn 6224]

I still think it's due to Vic making the rounds the past week.

Wonder what the visiting tourists from around the country & overseas think after taking a shower in one of those fancy hotels downtown?

[SquishMitten 10403]

Y’all should use this opportunity to replace your plumbing with Topo Chico. The bubbly burst from the bidet is exhilarating

I prefer flavored la croix as it gives my ass a hint of a nice fruit smell.

They think they woke up in Waco.

if tourists head into town on ben white then they've already passed multiple tent cities and homeless compounds and are probably already questioning their vacation choice.

or maybe it's all a creative way of keeping people from moving here.

The scrubbing bubbles increase the likelihood of my wife putting her finger in my butt. What’s gay about that?

Or coconut water.  

[BradInATX 9208]

Anyone still have nasty ass water in south Austin? I'm in the 45 (manchaca dittmar-ish) and it still tastes like booty juice, now with more chlorine.

I bet you selfish fucks didn’t properly drain and clean your boats a couple years ago when all this was taking hold.  and now you show up and bitch about the utility company.  this has nothing to do with austin utilities and everything to do with lazy, entitled boaters. 

[bschoolprof 6252]

my boat is way too big for tiny ass Lake Austin/Travis.  Don't blame me.

I would never blame you.

78759 water still seems normal.  I'm drinking bottled water but used tap water to brush my teeth and don't smell anything stinkier than usual in the shower.
