Water in over the mountain cities safe despite taste, odor concerns, Birmingham Water Works says - al.com

Birmingham Water Works officials said Saturday night that they are aware of concerns about water in some south Birmingham and over the mountain cities.

Some residents took to social media on Saturday with concerns about the taste and odor of their water.

Rick Jackson, spokesman for Birmingham Water Works, said complaints have been lodged by customers in north Hoover, Homewood, Mountain Brook, portions of Vestavia Hills and in the UAB area.

“Our water quality team has conducted tests confirming that the water is safe to drink,’’ Jackson said in a statement Saturday night.

“Additionally, we are actively conducting flushing and sampling in accordance with our protocols and will continue to monitor the situation closely.”
