FAQ > Water Quality Issues > Water Smells like rotten eggs
If your water smells like rotten eggs, the most likely cause is Hydrogen Sulfide. Hydrogen Sulfide is very common and not a hazard to your health. It is easy to treat for, and we can help you find a water treatment company to help remove the smell. It is a good idea to test your water to rule out other causes of taste and odor issues, such as bacteria and manganese, before installing treatment. Our Basic Package would be best for addressing aesthetic problems with the water.
