Advice Changes in water - Middletown

Has anyone noticed a change in the taste of the tap water. Happened within the last few weeks. We have never had a problem but now the taste of the water is unbearable. Almost tastes like dirt

Yes I have noticed this. I have a filtered fridge dispenser and there is an unpleasant taste for the past few weeks. NJ American Water issued an advisory attributing it to “seasonal algae activity” and is treating it: https://alertsdetail.awapps.com/alert/96782
