I just removed the old galvanized service line from the house to the property line with 3/4" Type L copper. Now the water has a strange smell/taste - similar to what it smells like when you're using the torch to heat the couplings during soldering. This was my first major plumbing job, so it's entirely possible that I was using too much flux, solder, or heated the couplings too long and got some oxidation, and maybe the smell is related to that. I've run the water quite a bit in each fixture, have taken a shower, etc, but the smell/taste is still there. Any idea what it might be.
