In Reply to: Smelly well water posted by Heather on May 31, 2002 at 13:34:47:
: Two weeks ago we moved into a mobile home that we are renting and it has well water. We noticed that the water from all the faucets in the home has a "rusty smell". We were told by the landlord that the mobile home stood empty for 2 months after the previous tenants left. Is that the reason the water smells? Will it evenually go away?
: (When we shower or wash clothes or dishes, the water smells, but we don't nor do our clothes or dishes smell after washing.)
: Please help! Thanks!

Heather,
It may not go away.
Some water smells as you use it, but like you mention, there seems to be no lingering smell afterwards.
