Sydney's southwest tap water chlorine complaints
Residents in Sydney's southwest, including Spring Farm, Mount Annan, Oran Park, Gregory Hills, Grasmere and Cobbity, are complaining about a strong chlorine smell in their tap water. Sydney Water confirmed a change in disinfectant from monochloramine to free chlorine, which can cause a more noticeable taste and odour. While the utility insists the water is safe, some residents report skin rashes and illness, leading them to purchase bottled water.
