Hi all. Our kitchen tap water (cold) frequently gives off an odor that is like oil or gas combustion fumes. Doesn't happen in the shower or bath sink. Our natural gas furnace and water heater are in good shape. Do you pros have any ideas?
Thanks. This forum is awesome. Appreciate any thoughts/ideas.
PS, municipal water supply. Live in a big city.
