    It is not bleach you taste or smell, it is Chlorine.

    Oh I know that thanks. But why is it suddenly so much more concentrated that it is leaving a strong taste and smell off the water? No problems since I moved in nearly a year ago until now.

    Nothing here in Maynooth but I don't think Kilcock is on the Ballygoran reservoir.

    We frequently get a salty taste here which is likely over flouridation though. KCC seem to be unable to actually dose the water properly and just do it at random. Water department phone operators tell me there's "no reports of anything" despite members of my family being able to taste it in Maynooth and Celbridge

    Roll on Irish Water and actually having competent (allegedly anyway) people running the water system .
