I hate this smell of a dirty wet dog in the water. My duplex was had fresh water line “peck’s” put in 1 year ago come April 2021 and the smell is still here ! If I go to drink a glass of tea I breath in I am sick from the smell and even my new dishwasher has the smell. My forks, spoons , all glass wear stinks like a wet dog. I don’t have a dog . If it is the hot water line wouldn’t that have been replaced when the house was done with peck’s? Got any ideas of how to get the smell gone. I am on city water supply.

I have this problem too. Only in my kitchen sink and only with hot water. Only a smell, no taste. My son says its a dirt smell though to me its more metallic/ammonia, almost like cleaner

It has a sewer smell for about a minute, and then goes away. It is the only place in the home I have noticed the smell.

Judy, is it possible to sample your neighbors water to see if they are having the same issues? Also is it happening from all the taps in your house including the outside hose bibs?

We are having the same problem from only one tap in the house. Why would this be. The tap is new, and the plumbing for that tap was changed slightly. Driving me crazy. Please advise.

Of the smells mentioned, the closest is a dirty wet dog. The city says they arent having any known water problems. WHAT WATER TEST WOULD HELP. I dont actually have a SMELL but the taste is like the smell of a dirty rag.
